Board of Education adopts proposed 2024-25 proposed budget
During its regular meeting on April 17, 2024, the Fort Plain Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a proposed $23,844,000 budget for the 2024-25 school year.
The school budget represents an increase in spending of $524,000, or 2.25%. over the current year budget. The spending plan will allow the district to maintain all current academic programs and personnel, and will provide for additional supports and learning opportunities for students.
Under this proposal, the tax levy would increase by 1.43%, which is below the district’s allowable tax cap of 3.43%. Because the tax levy increase remains below the district’s allowable limit, as determined by the state’s tax “cap” formula, a simple majority of voters (50% + 1) is needed to pass the budget.
Voting will take place on May 21, 2024, from 11 a.m to 8 p.m. in the Harry Hoag Elementary School Library, 25 High St., Fort Plain, NY.
View the 2024-25 Fort Plain budget presentation and related materials.
What’s On the Ballot
In addition to the proposed 2024-25 budget, the community will vote on the following:
Propositions
Proposition 2: Bus Purchase
Residents will be asked to consider the purchase of three buses for approximately $450,000. This will be paid for from Bus Purchase and Capital Reserve funds and will have no impact on the 2024-25 tax levy.
Proposition 3: Fort Plain Free Library Appropriation
Residents will be asked to allow the Fort Plain Free Library to increase its annual taxpayer supported appropriation from $85,000 to $100,000. The library appropriation is separate and apart from the Fort Plain Central School District annual budget. These monies are raised annually along with other taxes on taxable property within the district and paid over by the Fort Plain municipality to the trustees of the library
Board of Education Election
On May 21, votes will elect three members to the Fort Plain Board of Education to serve two three-year terms beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2027 and one one-year and six-week term beginning May 21, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025 (to fill a vacancy created by a board member’s resignation.)
The candidates in the order they will appear on the ballot are:
- Neal Van Slyke

- Jamie Bunker
- Joshua Parkinson

- allow the Fort Plain Free Library to increase its annual taxpayer supported appropriation from $85,000 to $100,000. While included annually for voter consideration along with the school district’s budget and Board of Education vote, the library appropriation is separate and apart from the Fort Plain school district annual budget. These monies are raised annually along with other taxes on taxable property within the district and paid over by the Fort Plain municipality to the trustees of the library.
