The Mamaroneck Union Free School District’s 2026-2027 budget was approved with 850 YES votes and 164 NO votes. The budget of $176,560,406 includes a tax levy increase of 3.07 percent, which is within the allowable tax cap. The community also approved a proposition authorizing the use of up to $9 million from the district’s Capital Reserve Fund to support needed infrastructure improvements. 

“This budget builds on important investments we have made in recent years and continues to move our strategic vision forward in meaningful ways,” said Dr. Charles Sampson. “It strengthens the opportunities, supports, and learning experiences that help ensure every student can grow, succeed, and find a pathway that is right for them.” 

Voters elected two trustees, each of whom will serve on the Board of Education for a three-year term. They are Michele Metsch and David Carlos. 

On behalf of the Mamaroneck Board of Education, President Ariana Cohen expressed her gratitude to the community for participating in the budget process and for taking the time to vote. 

“This budget reflects thoughtful planning, responsible stewardship, and a continued commitment to meeting the needs of every student,” said Cohen. “We are grateful for the community’s support of a spending plan that builds on our progress and continues to invest in teaching, learning, and student success.”
