This budget represents a $3,157,205 spending increase from the 2022-2023 School Year. The estimated tax levy increase for the 2023-2024 Budget is 1.4%, which is below the allowable tax levy limit of 1.8% set by New York State.
Voters also approved a proposition for the district to create a Capital Construction Reserve Fund by a vote of 328 (YES) to 106 (NO).

The district cannot use money in the fund without voter approval and any spending from it must be approved by residents in a future vote.

2023-2024 School Year Budget Vote Information
On Tuesday, May 16, 2023, residents of the Lansingburgh Central School District will vote on whether to approve a proposed budget of $60,541,069 for the 2023-2024 School Year.
Capital Construction Reserve Fund Proposition
In addition to the proposed budget, residents will be asked to consider approval to create a Capital Construction Reserve Fund. It would be a place to set aside money to help pay for district construction projects and would keep tax increases down by reducing the amount of funds the district would need to borrow for future projects. Voters play an active part in this fund since they must approve its creation and the district cannot use money in the fund without voter approval. Any spending from it must be approved by residents in a future vote.
Board of Education Election
Residents will also vote for one (1) seat opening on the Lansingburgh Board of Education. More information on the board election and candidates is available here.
