Somers Planning/Finance subcommittee reviews FY27 budget adjustments, forwards update to full board

The Somers Planning/Finance subcommittee met on April 2, 2026, to review proposed adjustments to the Somers School District’s FY27 budget, discuss potential areas for reductions and agreed to forward the updated budget to the full Somers Board of Education for final approval.

Kim Radziewicz, chairperson of the Planning/Finance subcommittee, presided over the session, which began at 5:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:45 p.m. Committee members listed as present were Michael Briggs (Chair, Somers Board of Education), JT Galloway and Dr. Ed Depeau. Dr. Sam Galloway and Stephanie Levin were listed as others in attendance. The meeting record lists three agenda items: review of the FY27 budget adjustments; discussion of areas of reduction; and agreement to move the updated budget to the entire board.

During the meeting the subcommittee reviewed changes to the draft FY27 spending plan. The transcript does not include line-item figures or specific department or program cuts; it records only that members discussed areas where reductions might be made. The subcommittee then agreed that the revised budget should be forwarded to the full Board of Education for consideration and final approval; the transcript does not record a formal motion, a named mover/second, or a roll-call vote for that referral.

Meeting documents and more detailed budget numbers were not included in the transcript. The record therefore does not specify total dollar changes, which departments would be reduced, or any deadlines for the full board’s review. The next procedural step recorded in the transcript is that the full Somers Board of Education will consider the updated FY27 budget at a future meeting. The subcommittee adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
