Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2026–27 school budget vote.
The proposed budget received 336 votes in favor and 235 against. While the majority of voters did vote in favor of passing the proposed budget, a 60% supermajority vote was required. Since the proposal did not receive 60% support, the New Lebanon Board of Education will meet to discuss next steps.
The bus purchase proposition passed with a vote of 373 in favor to 197 against.
Two school board members were reelected. Congratulations to Sharon Powers (410 votes) and Alex Polacinski (431votes).
We will share more information with the community soon. Thank you again to all who came out to vote today and for your continued engagement in this process.
