North Babylon board approves certification of May 19 budget vote; district reports 593-235 tally
Summary
The North Babylon Union Free School District Board certified the results of the district budget vote held May 19, recording a 593to235 result and a 72% approval, and the board voted to approve those election results at a special meeting May 19.
The North Babylon Union Free School District Board of Education voted at a special meeting May 19 to approve the results of the district annual budget vote held May 19, 2026.
Chair (S1) introduced a motion to certify the public election results and the board held a roll call before approving the motion. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from each trustee named during the call. The election tally read to the board showed 593 "Yes" votes and 235 "No" votes; the Chair stated, "Budget passes by a 72%." (Chair (S1)).
Clerk (S3) conducted the roll call, calling individual trustees by name and recording their votes as "yes"; the transcript records affirmative responses when each trustee was called. The board approved certification of the election results by voice and the Chair declared the motion carried.
Why it matters: Certification allows the district to record the official outcome of the budget referendum and move forward with any financial and administrative steps tied to the approved budget. The meeting record does not include dollar amounts or a budget breakdown; those details were not specified in the special meeting transcript.
The special meeting then moved on to approve trustee election results and related swearing-in, and adjourned afterward.
