2021-2022 Budget Information 

2021-2022 Budget Passes 386-141

The New Lebanon Central School District’s 2021-2022 school budget passed with a super majority of 73% (386 yes and 141 no). Being that the district went above the tax cap, a 60% majority was needed to approve the budget this school year and we exceeded this threshold.

This outcome is a testament to every member of our district community. This year’s vote reaffirms the community’s long standing commitment to our students and district.  On behalf of the district, I want to thank you for your support of the New Lebanon Central School District. The approved 2021-2022 school budget will allow the district to continue the excellent academic programs and extracurricular opportunities for our students.

Our community elected both Bill Buckenroth  (417 votes) and Michael Brutsch (388 votes) for a 3-year New Lebanon Board of Education term.

Thank you to all who voted in this year’s budget.  We appreciate your support and dedication towards our New Lebanon school community.

Very Fondly,
Andrew Kourt
New Lebanon Superintendent of Schools

2021-2022 Budget Development

  • The Board adopted the budget on April 14.
  • Due to the tax billing error, the approved tax levy of $8,492,589 was actually levied at $8,110,335 – this resulted in residents receiving a decrease in the school tax bills.
  • The $8,110,335 was used as the prior year levy in the tax cap calculation, this along with a low growth factor only allowed the district to increase the levy by $30,675. This has created a revenue shortfall. The budget deficit is currently at $989,817. To close the gap, the district is recommending a 6% increase in the tax levy. The district has had no increase in the tax levy since 2012.
