The East Greenbush Central School District has developed a proposed budget for the 2025-26 school year totaling $115,153,000. The budget would maintain all current regular school year programs including:

• Pre-K and Early Childhood Support
• Mental Health Services
• College Credit and AP courses
• Career and Technical Education Classes
• Athletics, Clubs and Extracurricular activities

On today’s episode, Superintendent Jeff Simons and Director of Business and Finance Jennifer Mulligan discuss the proposed budget, what's on the ballot, and how residents can vote.

Also, students tell us where they would go if they could travel anywhere in the world, the staff profile features School Resource Officer Ed Ashley and we feature the Mock Trial Team in the Student Activity Spotlight.
