OA School Community,
🗳️ BUDGET VOTE REMINDER: The 2026-2027 School Budget Vote is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM!
The digital Budget Newsletter is live now ➡️ https://aptg.co/ZFPztl, and a printed version has arrived by mail.
📊 Quick Fact on the Tax Levy: You might notice a 17.10% increase on paper, but this is just a mandatory accounting shift because the Stagecoach Pipeline agreement moved to the regular tax roll. The actual tax levy increase for residents is 0%. There is no new spending decision causing this change, and it will have an approximate 0% impact on your tax bill.
What's on the ballot?
A $63,567,555 proposed budget supporting UPK-12 programs.
Proposition 2: A bus bond for 5 new safe, modern diesel buses.
BOE Election: 3 open seats (Candidates: Michael Aubel, Joseph Palladino, Jessica Silvanic).
📍 Where to Vote (12 PM - 8 PM):
OACSD District Office
Apalachin Elementary School
Locations based on residency. Bring a photo ID if not registered.
Get all the details, visual breakdowns, and voter info here: www.oacsd.org/page/school-budget-information. Your vote matters. See you at the polls!
