Massapequa board adopts 2025–26 budget and sets tax levy; total budget $250.39 million

The Massapequa Union Free School District Board of Education adopted its 2025–26 budget on July 1, approving a total budget of $250,388,331 and setting the district’s tax levy and required filings, officials said.

During the meeting the board read and adopted a resolution certifying that the budget for school purposes totals $243,245,381 and for library purposes $7,142,950, for a combined total of $250,388,331. The resolution further recited that the amount to be raised by taxation (the net levy) is $191,018,700, comprised of $183,937,500 for school purposes and $7,081,200 for library purposes, as reflected in the resolution read into the record.

The board directed the district clerk to file a certified copy of the resolutions with the Nassau County Legislature and the Department of Assessment in Mineola, New York, on or before Aug. 15, 2025, citing “section 6-20 and amendments thereto of the Nassau County Administrative Code” as the authority for the filing requirement. Board members moved and seconded the budget and tax-levy resolutions and approved them by voice vote.

Board members then executed the resolutions as required. The meeting record includes the full budget totals as read on the record; board staff noted the figures were entered into the official minutes and that the district will post or file the certified resolutions as required by county rules.

The board also approved routine business items at the meeting, including consultant contracts and personnel appointments, and directed staff to complete signatures and filings tied to the budget resolutions. No separate vote to amend the budget line items was recorded in open session that night.
