Tioga Central board approves $26,238,402 budget package, sends propositions to voters May 19
Summary
The Tioga Central School District Board adopted the 2026–27 budget propositions to be placed on the May 19, 2026 ballot, including a $26,238,402 General Fund appropriation and a school bus purchase authorization not to exceed $390,000. The board carried the motion 7-0.
The Tioga Central School District Board of Education voted 7-0 April 20 to adopt the propositions that will be submitted to district voters at the annual budget vote on May 19, 2026. The resolution authorizes General Fund appropriations of $26,238,402 for the 2026–27 school year and directs the clerk to include the propositions on the ballot.
The propositions include a vehicle purchase authorization stating, '2 - 66 Passenger School Buses at a gross cost not exceeding $195,000 each,' for a combined gross cost not exceeding $390,000, and provides that the board may issue obligations or, if permitted by enacted law, pay cash from the General Fund balance. The board approved the adoption motion after a brief presentation on the final draft of the budget by Superintendent Joshua Roe. The meeting record shows the motion was made by Aaron Lounsbury, seconded by Scot Taylor, and carried 7-0.
Nut graf: The board's action does not enact the budget but places the propositions before voters; the outcome of the May 19 vote will determine whether the district may expend the proposed sums and proceed with the bus purchase or finance it according to Education Law and Local Finance Law. If voters approve the bus proposition, the district is authorized to spend up to $390,000 for two 66-passenger buses.
