Qualified voters of the Schuylerville Central School District will vote on a $40.8 million proposed budget for the 2026-27 school year, which calls for a 2.12% spending increase and an estimated tax levy increase of 2.99%, which is below the district’s allowable tax cap. Tax rates for individual properties will be determined over the summer once equalization rates and assessments are available for the district’s seven towns. Click here to read more.

Board of Education Election

During the May 19 annual budget vote, voters will elect one member to the Schuylerville CSD Board of Education to fill the following position:

• One five-year term beginning July 1, 2026. The seat is currently held by Katie Brunson, who is running for re-election unopposed.

Brunson is seeking her second term on the Board of Education, having first been elected in May 2021. She has served as vice president of the Board for the past two years. A graduate of Schuylerville High School, Brunson earned an associate degree in Early Childhood Education from SUNY Cobleskill, a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from SUNY Oneonta, and a master’s degree in Literacy Education from The College of Saint Rose.

Brunson has been a reading teacher in the Ballston Spa Central School District for more than 20 years, where she provides small-group literacy support to students in grades K-5. She remains actively involved in the Schuylerville community, volunteering with the Middle School Drama Club and Schuylerville FFA, and serving on the Board of Trustees for the Schuylerville Public Library. When her children were younger, she was also active with the Old Saratoga Athletic Association (OSAA), serving as a softball commissioner and sponsorship coordinator. Brunson has a daughter who is in 10th grade at Schuylerville High School, and a stepson who graduated in 2023.
