On Tuesday, May 20, Hermon-DeKalb CSD voted to approve the district’s proposed $14.56 million budget for the 2025-26 school year that carries a 1.72% tax levy increase and an increase in spending of 0.98% compared to the current year.
The proposed $14.56 million budget will allow Hermon-DeKalb CSD to fund after school programs, sustain athletic program to support student-athletes, continue to fund music and arts programs, provide students with opportunities to attend Career and Technical Education classes, and give high school students the opportunity to earn college credits before graduation.
“We are grateful to the community for their continued support of our school district,” said Superintendent Megan Foster-Trimm. “The Hermon-DeKalb Central School District is committed to preparing our students to be caring, conscientious, and creative citizens. The approval of the budget will allow us to continue to open doors for our students. It is encouraging to see our community supporting the goals we have set for the 2025–26 school year.”
The community voted to approve the transportation proposal on the ballot. This will allow the district to purchase one diesel 65-passenger bus and one 26-passenger handicapped accessible bus at a cost not to exceed $340,000.
The community also voted to approve the creation of the “2025 Capital Reserve Fund”. This reserve will be used to pay for future capital improvements to district facilities and sites.
There were three seats on the board of education on the ballot. The community voted for Andrew Brice and Christopher Stransky to fill the two seats that carry a five-year term. Jaclyn teRiele was selected to fill the third seat that carries a two-year term.

During the April meeting, the Board of Education approved changes to the 2024-25 calendar to include additional days off on Friday, May 9th, 2025 and Friday, June 27th, 2025. These days off were added because not all of the allotted snow/emergency closing days were used during the current school year. Each year, school districts are given a set number of snow or emergency closing days, and if they are not fully used, schools may schedule additional closures.
