The Geneseo Central School District board approved a tax-cap calculation of about 2.78% on a consent motion at its Feb. 23, 2026 special meeting. The finance committee recommended adopting the full tax cap and board members voiced no opposition at the voice vote.
The finance committee representative told the board the recommended rate was roughly 2.77%–2.8% and that the calculation "includes all of the appropriate exemptions," aiming to address projected deficits. The chair stated on the vote, "We hereby accept the tax cap recommendation of 2.78 ish." The approval was made on a consent motion; a roll-call tally was not recorded in the open transcript.
Board members framed the vote as a procedural step so the district can proceed with budgeting consistent with the committee's recommendation. The transcript records no substantive amendment or extended debate on the tax-cap calculation during the open meeting. Future budgetary details and the final levy will follow the district's standard budgeting and public-notice processes.
