Hampton Bays School Budget Passes By Wide Margin

HAMPTON BAYS, NY — The people have spoken: Voters headed to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the annual Hampton Bays School District's budget vote and Board of Education election — and the budget passed by a wide margin of 554 to 134.

The proposed 2024 to 2025 budget of $66,068,400, reflects a 3.32 percent spending increase and a 2.2 percent, within the tax cap limit.

Voters also weighed in on a proposition to use $300,000 in unexpended funds for repairs and renovation. That measure also passed handily, 591 to 95.

Incumbent BOE candidates Anne Culhane and Liz Scully ran unopposed. Culhane received 550 votes and Scully, 534.
