Le Roy Central School District voters approved Proposition One on March 17, 2026, authorizing the purchase of six 66-passenger school buses equipped with interior surveillance and a two-way radio package. The district recorded a vote of 105 in favor and 15 opposed, and District Clerk Lori E. Wrobel certified the result: "The 2026 Bus and Vehicle Purchase Proposition passed."
The proposition authorizes an estimated total expenditure of $1,100,000. According to the ballot language recorded in the minutes, the district may use up to $600,000 from a capital reserve fund established by a voter proposition on May 21, 2019, with the remaining amount, not to exceed $500,000, raised by a tax levy collected in annual installments under Section 416 of the Education Law and partially offset by available State aid. Mrs. Marianne Garigen, identified as the election inspector in the record, checked the ballot box prior to opening; polls were open from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Wolcott Polls Open Street School Library/Media Center.
The minutes do not record debate, motions by named board members, or an alternate funding plan. The referendum text and the certified tally are the formal actions recorded in the district's March 17, 2026 canvass.
The district clerk's certification in the meeting record is the administrative confirmation that the proposition passed and that the district is authorized to proceed under the funding limits stated in the ballot language.
