Meeting Reminder

The Hudson City School District Board of Education holds a Community Budget Workshop tonight at 6:00 p.m. in the library at Hudson High School. The proposed budget for the 2026-2027 school year is now $63.1 million--$4.6 million more than the budget for the current school year. To quote an article by Roger Hannigan Gilson in the Times Union: 
Even if the school board were to approve a budget that would raise taxes by the maximum allowable this year--5.8 percent--and spend the maximum allowable amount of the unassigned fund balance, the district would be $2.58 million short. . . .
BOE president Mark DePace has asked the district to cut $2.5 to $4.5 million from the proposed budget. It will be interesting to see what cuts will be proposed. 

The meeting takes place in person in the library at Hudson High School and will be livestreamed on YouTube.

    Time to face reality and if we can’t afford it, it is time to let some things go. Life will go on.

    They should do an experiment: send half the district office staff home for a week. See if any one notices.
