Voters in the Roslyn and East Williston, North Shore and Mineola school districts will head to the polls to vote for their school district’s budget for the 2026-2027 school year and trustee elections.

In the Roslyn School District, the proposed 2026-27 budget totals $140,918,000, an increase of $4,106,677, or 2.91%, from the current year’s $136,811,323 budget.

Based on enrollment data from the New York State Education Department showing 3,372 students in the district during the 2025-26 school year, the proposed budget equates to approximately $41,791 in spending per pupil.

District residents will also elect two members to the Board of Education to serve three year terms beginning July 1 and ending June 2029. Roslyn Board of Education President Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy and Trustee Leigh Minsky are running uncontested for their seats.

In addition to voting on the school district’s operating budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, in Proposition Two residents will decide whether to approve the annual budget for The Bryant Library. The proposed budget is $5,451,371, up 2.81% from last year’s budget of $5,302,534.

Voters will also consider several capital-related propositions.

Proposition No. 3 would authorize the district to spend up to $568,296 for the purchase of school buses and related equipment. The measure would permit the district to finance the purchase through bonds or installment purchase contracts over a period of up to five years.

Proposition No. 4 seeks authorization for the district to spend up to $3.5 million from its 2017 Capital Reserve Fund for renovations at Roslyn High School, including classroom lighting and ceiling upgrades and parking lot improvements.

Residents will also vote on whether to establish a new “2026 Capital Reserve Fund” with a maximum amount of $45 million plus investment income. Proposition No. 5 focuses on the reserve fund which would support future capital improvements districtwide, including classroom renovations, roofing, HVAC, technology and security upgrades, athletic facilities, playgrounds, energy efficiency projects and vehicle purchases over a projected 25-year term.

The proposed reserve fund could be financed with surplus monies remaining in the general fund, including up to $6 million from the 2025-26 budget and annual transfers of up to $6 million in subsequent years.
