The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District has published its budget newsletter for the 2024-25 school year, now available online and in print soon. Residents will receive a physical copy in their mailboxes within a week, and a digital version is also accessible online.

The newsletter outlines a proposed budget of $54,578,339 for the next school year, marking an increase of $1,029,853 or 1.92% from the previous year. The budget includes new programs and improvements to enhance education in the district.

Residents will vote on the budget on May 21. The proposal suggests a tax rate increase of 4.26%, which is under the district's tax cap of 4.45%. The budget needs a simple majority to pass.

The vote will also decide on a Capital Improvement Project for the district’s Transportation Facility, which includes upgrades like enhanced electrical infrastructure and a new bus lift to accommodate heavier electric buses.
