The Wynantskill Union Free School District is pleased to announce that the proposed 2025-26 school budget was approved by voters on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, with a vote of 164 in favor and 45 against. The approved budget totals $11,317,782, ensuring the continuation of our commitment to academic excellence and student success.
Despite facing significant funding reductions due to state-level budget cuts, the district remains dedicated to preserving high-quality academic and extracurricular programs, retaining valuable staff, and investing in resources that directly benefit student learning and well-being.
Superintendent Dr. Yodis expressed gratitude following the vote:
“On behalf of the entire district, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our community for your continued support and for approving next year’s school budget. Your vote of confidence ensures we can maintain our quality programs, support our dedicated staff, and provide the resources our students need to thrive. We are so grateful for your partnership and commitment to the success of every child in the Wynantskill Union Free School District. THANK YOU!”
In addition to the budget, voters approved a proposition to purchase a new school bus, enhancing the safety and reliability of student transportation.
The district also congratulates Cathleen Castle, who was re-elected to the Board of Education, and Jennie Brown, who was elected to her first term. We thank both individuals for their commitment to public service and support of our schools.
We are excited to move forward with the important work of educating and supporting every student in our district. Thank you, Wynantskill community!
