Summary
The Henry Hudson Regional PK-12 Board on March 25 adopted a tentative FY2026–27 budget totaling $25,666,129 that includes a 4.85% tax levy increase, use of capital and maintenance reserves, and a $539,128 healthcare adjustment. A public hearing is set for April 29.
The Henry Hudson Regional PK-12 Board of Education voted on March 25 to adopt its tentative 2026–2027 budget, approving Resolution 26-01 that sets total expenditures at $25,666,129 and proposes taxes to be raised of $20,464,750. The general fund appropriation is $23,532,188; the administration says anticipated revenues total $5,201,379. The board recorded the motion moved by Mr. Colangelo and seconded by Mr. Burel and approved the resolution by roll call (Yes: 7, No: 0).
Business Administrator and Board Secretary Janet Sherlock told the board the budget includes a $539,128 adjustment for increased health benefit premiums and relies on withdrawals from maintenance and capital reserves—$200,000 from maintenance and $62,514 from capital reserve to cover an SDA assessment. Sherlock also said the district will use the healthcare waiver and is accounting for higher energy costs. "We will formally present the budget to the public next month," a prepared statement from Board President Diane Knox read by Vice President Claire Kozic said during the meeting. A public hearing on the budget will be held April 29, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the Genevieve M. Hawley Cafetorium, after the county review and posting of the budget on the district website.
