At last night's meeting of the Hudson City School District Board of Education, interim superintendent Brian Bailey presented some ideas for cutting the budget proposed for 2026-2027 school year. Earlier this evening, the Register-Star published this report on the meeting: "Hudson schools proposed budget cuts 33 positions." According to the article, the positions are: "one central office administrative position, one building administration position, 14 classroom teacher or student support positions, 15 aides, one clerical role and one custodian position for a savings of more than $2.4 million." Other possible cuts were mentioned in the article as well.
To review, the proposed budget for 2026-2027, before any cuts, is $63.1 million--$4.6 million more than the budget for the current school year. Even if taxes are increased by 5.8 percent--the maximum allowable--and maximum allowable amount is taken from the unassigned fund balance, the district would still be $2.58 million short if no cuts are made to the budget.
