Board approves library proposition for 2026–27 district vote
Summary
The Central Square Board approved placing a library proposition on the 2026–27 district ballot to levy an additional $30,000 annually for the Central Square Library, bringing the proposed total annual appropriation to $125,000. The resolution passed 9–0 on a roll-call vote.
Board President Steven Patch moved the resolution to place a library proposition on the 2026–27 district ballot and Kristy Fischmann seconded the motion. The resolution, “that the Board of Education of the Central Square Central School District, pursuant to Education Law, Section 295, be authorized to levy and collect an annual tax, year after year, separate and apart from the annual school district budget, in the amount of $30,000 … to be paid to the Central Square Library,” was approved on a roll-call vote 9–0.
The measure would add $30,000 a year to the library appropriation — increasing the current annual appropriation of $95,000 to a proposed $125,000 — and was introduced with supporting paperwork filed with the District Clerk. The board’s vote sends the proposition to the voters for the 2026–27 district vote; no additional conditions or implementation dates were specified in the meeting minutes.
Authorities: Education Law, Section 295 was cited during the motion. The roll-call vote recorded each member voting Yes: Steven Patch, Kristy Fischmann, Allison Douglas, Casey Morey, Kenneth Sherman, David Tackman, Ryan Lucas, Lorraine Wood, and Bryan Maether. The resolution text and related documents are on file in the District Clerk’s supplemental materials.
