Board approves $176.56 million 2026–27 budget, authorizes maintenance contract and several field trips
Summary
The Board of Education adopted a $176,560,406 budget for 2026–27 (a 4.36% increase), authorized piggybacking a maintenance contract with RENU Contracting, and approved several out-of-state student trips; the capital reserve authorization was clarified as not an immediate spend.
The Mamaroneck Board of Education moved to adopt the 2026–27 budget and property tax report card in the amount of $176,560,406, described on the record as a 4.36% increase from the prior year. Moderator (speaker S4) called for a motion and recorded a motion and second; the voice vote was taken but the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.
During the consent agenda review, the board listed routine items A–H including minutes, personnel actions, agreements and amendments, budget transfers, treasurer's report, acceptance of extracurricular fund accounts and special-program recommendations, and gifts and donations. The board acknowledged a $4,674 donation from the Murray Avenue School PTA to support a 5th-grade outing.
The board also adopted a resolution to piggyback a contract led by the Bayshore Union Free School District to retain RENU Contracting and Restoration Inc. for general building maintenance services (01/23/2026 through 01/23/2027) in accordance with applicable municipal procurement law. Several out-of-state field trips were authorized, including high school attendance at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, a Maranek Avenue School 3rd-grade trip to Stanford Nature Center, and Hammocks Music Department participation in Music in the Parks in Bristol, Connecticut.
In remarks about the budget, a district official clarified that a ballot proposition authorizing use of the capital reserve up to $9,000,000 reflects the account's balance and does not mean the district plans to spend that amount in the coming year. The board also announced voter-registration deadlines and absentee/early mail ballot schedules for the May 19, 2026 budget vote and trustee election; the clerk's office phone number and registration hours were provided on the record.
Next steps and implementation: the transcript records motions and seconds and shows the board moving through the consent agenda and budget vote, but it does not record individual vote tallies or the names of the motioners and seconders on the budget adoption; those details are not specified in the transcript and are recorded here as "not specified."
