Tri‑Valley board unanimously adopts $39.6 million budget, recommends 2.99% tax levy

The Tri‑Valley Central School District Board of Education voted unanimously March 26 to adopt a $39,607,948 budget for the 2026–2027 school year.

The adoption, read into the record on the superintendent’s recommendation, followed a motion and unanimous electronic vote approving the proposed spending plan. The board also discussed local tax‑levy projections, and the superintendent’s packet recommended a 2.99% levy for Tri‑Valley in comparison to nearby districts’ preliminary figures.

The board simultaneously approved routine consent agenda items covering agenda categories nine through 13 and passed a separate resolution adding Jeff Froehlich as an authorized signer on district bank accounts at Wayne Bank, effective March 27, 2026. The bank‑signer resolution was presented as an administrative recommendation and approved unanimously.

Board members expressed routine questions about state funding and the budget’s assumptions during discussion; the board chair then called for a vote. There were no roll‑call dissenting votes recorded.

What happens next: the adopted budget will move forward for required local postings and any additional administrative steps under district policy. The bank‑signer change takes effect March 27, 2026, per the board resolution.
