The Pelham Union Free School District Board of Education met May 20 to certify the results of the district's school budget vote and board election after voters approved the 2026–27 budget.
Dr. Chan read the certified totals from yesterday's public vote: "Total yeses, 830. Total noes, 277 for a total number of votes cast of 1,107," and then reported the board election counts: "Ann Marie Garcia with 708 votes, Lisa Martino Alves with 591, and Sydney Burke with 674," noting there were "62 write ins as well." The board offered public thanks to poll workers and district staff who supported the voting process.
The chair then moved several consent items and the board approved routine business by voice vote.

The district clerk, Valerie Miller, was thanked specifically for ensuring the vote was conducted "in a free fair and orderly manner."
