Superintendent outlines preliminary 2026–27 budget drivers and capital-timing; $21.19M draft budget noted
Summary
Superintendent Dr. J. Reimer and Treasurer C. Miner reviewed line-item rollovers and projected drivers—health insurance, fuel, audit costs—saying the current proposed budget stands at $21,191,612 and that the district expects to manage finances this year and next while monitoring state aid and potential reserve use.
Superintendent Dr. J. Reimer and Connie D. Miner walked the Board through a preliminary rollover budget and three-year lookback, highlighting non-personnel line adjustments across general support, operations and debt service. They called out projected increases in health insurance and audit costs, transportation liability insurance and plant operation lines; overall expenditures were projected to increase about 1.61% year over year in the current projection.
Dr. Reimer said the district’s proposed budget is $21,191,612 and noted revenue-side uncertainties, including state aid projections and the reduction of an energy cessation program. He said the district may need to use EBLAR reserves depending on final revenue figures, as it did last year (using $180,000). He also said he is meeting with Senator Ortt and had met with Assemblyman Bologna to seek funding support; he described timing for the 2025 $14M capital project NYSED review and bid schedule.
