Budget Development

Each year, the Saratoga Springs Board of Education works with district and school leaders to develop a budget proposal that focuses on the sustainability of current programs, meeting the social and emotional needs of all students, and providing equity in programs offered by the district.

The 2026-2027 annual budget vote will take place on Tuesday, May 19.
