Last evening, Questar III’s school districts’ boards of education voted 19-2 to approve the organization’s proposed $7.4 million administrative budget for the 2025-26 school year.
This budget – which is the only portion of the BOCES budget that districts vote on each year – provides for a variety of operational and support activities of the BOCES as well as services to local districts.
School districts will finalize program and service purchasing for next year on May 1. After that time, the organization will adjust all budgets based on requests.
Component school boards also voted to fill four seats on the Questar III Board of Education. Questar III Board Members Edmund Brooks (Ichabod Crane CSD), David Finch (Greenville CSD), Nadine Gazzola (Taconic Hills CSD), and Melony Spock (Chatham CSD) were reelected to three-year terms starting July 1.
