Voting Information

*Per NYS Law, "A qualified voter is a person who is a citizen of the United States, at least 18 years old, a resident of the school district for at least 30 days prior to the meeting at which he or she offers to vote, and who is not otherwise prohibited from voting under the provisions of section 5-106 of the Election Law."

On the third Tuesday in May, voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots. Ballots for the annual budget vote and school board election typically have three sections, as follows:  Proposition 1 is the school budget, plus budgets for the Cazenovia Public Library and New Woodstock Public Library; Proposition 2 is for the purchase of school buses; and Part 3 is the election of members to the Board of Education. The public hearing to present the proposed budget is typically held on the second Tuesday in May (one week prior to the vote and election), after which a budget notice will be mailed out.

The annual school budget is meticulously worked on at Board of Education meetings starting in January, all of which are open to the public. Additional information regarding the budget process and calendar can be found HERE. The schedule of meetings for the Board of Education can be found HERE. If you have questions, please contact the District Clerk at (315) 655-1317.
