If the revised budget doesn’t pass, our district must move to a contingent budget -- no tax levy increase, and an additional $360,000 in cuts, leading to a $492,000 total reduction to the budget.
That means:
❌ More staff cuts
❌ Fewer electives, e
❌ Community groups must pay to use school facilities
❌ Fewer athletics and extracurriculars
Introducing: Our Students & School Budget In Action
We’re excited to launch a new feature that shines a spotlight on how your support of the school budget directly empowers Fredonia students to become their greatest selves. From innovative classroom experiences to enriching extracurriculars, see your investment in action—fueling opportunities, achievement, and growth.
Follow along as we showcase real stories of student success made possible by the budget YOU help support!
That 1.9% tax levy? It’s entirely dedicated to previously approved capital improvements—keeping our students and staff Warm, Safe & Dry. This includes vital infrastructure repairs, system upgrades, and two new playgrounds at Wheelock — all supported by 82.7% NYS aid.
Congratulations to Emily and Zach for being named as 2024-25 SUNY JCC College Connections Students of the Year!
We are incredibly proud of the work that our students and teachers do everyday.!

We’ve revised our 2025–26 school budget, reducing it by $166,000. The new proposal includes only the 1.9% tax levy that was approved by voters at the December Capital Project Vote, which equals about $5.25/month for the average household.
For the 14th year in a row, we remain at or below the tax cap.
