Budget and Taxes

Each year, Unadilla Valley CSD works to make the most effective use of resources to benefit students, to develop and manage the budget in a responsible and transparent manner, and to be accountable to taxpayers.

The Business Office at Unadilla Valley CSD is responsible for oversight and management of district finances that are needed to support the educational mission.

The district’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.

The Business Office, along with the superintendent and working in conjunction with the UV Board of Education, develops the annual school budget. The budget vote for the 2026-27 fiscal year will be on May 19, 2026.
