School Election and Budget Results Across Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam Counties.
Most school budget proposals in the Lower Hudson Valley were easily passed by voters Tuesday, but at least two spending plans got rejected. Elmsford's proposed $43.3 million budget and Blind Brook's $57 million budget plan were both defeated by voters. Blind Brook was one of only 16 districts in New York seeking to override its tax cap, meaning it needed a supermajority of 60%. The election comes as districts continue to face residual academic, behavioral and mental health challenges from the pandemic.
