Hendrick Hudson board adopts budget proposition, seeks state relief after Indian Point revenue losses

The Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education adopted a resolution on April 7 sending the superintendent's proposed 2026—27 budget to the community for the May 19 vote, after a presentation that drew on several years of fund-balance draws and state-aid shifts tied to the closure of Indian Point.

Superintendent Mike told the board the proposed spending plan addresses a 6.6% budget-to-budget increase with strategic cost reductions, increased state aid and the planned use of district reserves, and includes a requested local tax-levy increase of 6.49.

He also said the district is seeking an extension of the cessation-mitigation program referenced in the presentation.
