Thank you, Voters

In unofficial results, on Tuesday, May 16, 2023 the Katonah-Lewisboro community approved both the Katonah-Lewisboro School Budget and the Vehicle Replacement Proposition.

"My sincerest thanks to everyone who participated in yesterday’s School Budget vote and Board of Education election," said  Superintendent Andrew Selesnick. "I am  deeply appreciative of the community’s show of support for our students and our schools by passing both propositions. Additionally, I so appreciate the wonderful modeling of our democratic process for our students. With that in mind, I want to thank all those community members who worked such long days at our polling stations and special thanks to Kim Monzon, our Board of Education Clerk, who oversees our election process with unsurpassed dedication and integrity."

Marjorie Schiff, President of the Katonah-Lewisboro Board of Education, also thanked the community.

“Thank you to our voters for supporting a 2023-2024 school budget that provides the resources to sustain an excellent educational experience for our children. The budget vote makes clear that the citizens of our school district value the work of our public schools and the benefits of KLSD schools for our entire community,” said Schiff.

The budget passed by a vote of 2,049 yes and 1,215 no. The bus proposition was approved by a vote of 1,944 yes, 1,318 no.
