On May 20, 2025, Middleburgh Central School District residents approved a $25,100,000 budget for the 2025-26 school year by a margin of 67.6% in favor to 32.4% opposed. The budget increases spending by 0.80%, or $200,000 from the current year, and includes a tax levy increase of $156,144 or 1.50%. Since the tax levy increase (the total amount of money to be raised through property taxes) is less than the district’s maximum allowable levy limit of 2.29%, the proposed budget needed only a simple majority vote to be approved.
