Pearl River Approves School Budget: Election 2024

PEARL RIVER, NY — Pearl River residents approved a 2024-25 school budget on Tuesday and re-elected two trustees to the Board of Education.

The $87.3 million proposed budget was easily approved. The budget comes with a 3.33 percent tax levy increase in the school tax levy. That is within the state's tax cap for the district so the budget only needed to be approved by a majority vote.

"Our District is committed to a budget that advances our mission to prepare our students for lifelong success while honoring our fiscal responsibility to taxpayers," Pearl River officials said on Instagram.

School board incumbents Jackie Dubil Craig and Thomas DePrisco were unopposed.
