Voting on Stillwater’s school budget

On the third Tuesday of each May, residents from across New York State go to the polls to vote on the annual school district budget and to elect members of the Board of Education.

In early May, Stillwater residents can expect to receive in the mail a copy of the district’s newsletter that provides details about the budget that residents will vote on. If you do not receive a copy of the newsletter, please contact the Communications Office at nrowan@scsd.org to request that one be mailed to you. Budget details are also available on the district website and social media and in the local newspapers.

Voter Eligibility
