SUMMARY:School Budget Vote
DESCRIPTION:SALEM SCHOOL BUDGET VOTE 5/19\n\n\nThe Salem Central School District Budget goes to vote on Tuesday\, May 19. If the budget passes\, an anticipated 2.65% property tax is expected.\n\n\nThe total proposed budget is approximately $17.87 million\, with Programs comprising about 75%\, Capital 18%\, and Administrative 7%. Major expenses include instructional staff\, transportation\, employee benefits\, and capital projects such as bus purchases and security upgrades.\n\n\nConsiderations in the budget: The District’s tax levy limit is set at 2.65%\, based on (according to the materials on the SCS website) a complex formula considering prior levy\, growth factors\, exemptions\, and PILOTs. Exclusions for capital debt\, bus leases\, and capital outlay projects are factored into the limit.\n\n\nCapital Budget and projects: Capital projects include. Bus purchases via serial bonds\, security upgrades\, and Building maintenance. The serial bonds for buses will be repaid over five years\, with state aid covering 88.6% of the costs.\n\n\nIn addition to the two Board of Education seats being voted upon\, there are three budget propositions that are being put before voters on May 19:\n\n\nProposition 1: Proposition 1 approves $17.87 million budget with a 2.65% tax increase.\n\n\nProposition 2 : Increases Salem Bancroft Public Library funding by $7\,000.\n\n\nProposition 3: Proposition 3 authorizes purchasing 3 buses for up to $575\,000\, financed through bonds.\n\n\nProposed 2026-27 Budget At-A-Glance\n\n\nTotal Budget: $17\,870\,287\n\n\nBudget Increase: $636\,434 / 3.69%\n\n\nTax Levy Increase: 2.65%\n\n\nCurrent 2025-26 Operating Budget:\n\n\nTotal Budget: $17\,233\,853\n\n\nTax Levy Increase: 8%\n\n\nDetailed information on the 2026-2027 Budget can be found on the Salem Central School website at salemcsd.org/page/2026-2027-school-budget-and-election \n\n\n\n. \n\n\nPolls will be open from 8am to 8pm in High School Room 418. Voters should access the school by using the circle entrance on Warren Street

SUMMARY:Saving Family Mementos: Organizing Digital Albums
DESCRIPTION:The average American has over 70\,000 digital images in their photo collection. We are the most documented generations in the history of the world. But all those great memories might as well not exist if we are overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of the images we each have\, or if we can’t find them when we want them\, or if we have only a vague idea of who some of the people are in the photos on our devices. Plus\, how safe and secure are the devices that you use to keep your digital photos?\nLearn how to identify and locate where your photos are stored\, how to quickly eliminate duplicates and junk\, and how to choose a backup system that is right for you.\nCarolynn Duffy\, through her business\, Kinship Matters\, is a genealogist and photo organizer in Washington County\, with fifteen years professional experience helping to create a rich and complete legacy for clients and their family\, through researching\, documenting\, preserving\, and archiving clients’ personal histories\, photos\, heirlooms\, and memorabilia. She knows firsthand how irreplaceable and meaningful photos can be; how important it is for them to be organized and labeled in order to keep them from becoming a pile of strangers in a box; and how critical where they are stored is to keeping them safe\, accessible\, and preserved for now and future generations. She also knows what it’s like to inherit objects that family referred to as “heirlooms\,” but to have no idea of the meaning behind the memento.\nRegistration Required! mcarll@sals.edu\, 518-854-7463\, bancroftlibrary.org\n
