Pleasantville Picks New School Trustee

PLEASANTVILLE, NY — Pleasantville school district residents approved a 2022-23 school budget on Tuesday and elected a trustee to the Board of Education.

The $57.7 million proposed budget was approved with 86 percent of the vote. It comes with a 1.72 percent hike in the school tax levy. That is within the state's tax cap for the district so the budget only needed to be approved by a majority vote.

• Proposition A, the 2022-2023 School District Budget, passed: 1276 Yes to 212 No
• Proposition B, establishment of a Capital Reserve Fund, passed: 1293 Yes to 184 No
• Proposition C, Middle School HVAC Bond, passed: 1313 Yes to 172 No

Erin Ballard and Joseph McCoy campaigned for the seat on the school board being vacated by Trustee Shane McGaffey.
