The Nassau County School Board held a special meeting on July 28, 2025, primarily focused on budget discussions for the upcoming fiscal year. The meeting began with a review of the voter-approved millage rate, which has been in place for four years. Board members confirmed that discussions regarding the potential renewal of this rate would commence in January 2026.
The board then moved to the approval of the tentative 2025-2026 district summary budget, which was set at $318,194,551.84. A motion was made and seconded to approve this budget, with board members discussing the implications of any changes that might occur before the final vote. Questions were raised about whether the estimated budget accounted for recent reductions and costs, to which the board confirmed it did.
Following this, the board scheduled a public budget hearing for September 9, 2025, at 6 PM, to further discuss the final budget. This meeting will take place at the school board office, separate from the regular board meeting, ensuring proper recording of the proceedings.
The meeting concluded with the board approving resolutions to adopt tentative millage rates and the tentative budget, with motions made and seconded for both items. All resolutions received unanimous support from the board members present.
Overall, the meeting was characterized by a structured approach to budget planning, with clear timelines set for future discussions and approvals.
