Dear Parents/Guardians and Community Members,

I am thrilled to share that our community has officially approved the 2026-2027 school budget, with 421 yes votes and 325 no votes. The Board of Education and our entire administration are incredibly grateful for your trust and your dedication to the excellence of our schools.

With this approval, we can ensure the continuity of vital student programs, proceed with essential facility upgrades, and fund key Capital Outlay projects designed to keep our learning environments safe, modern, and inspiring.

Alongside the budget results, please join us in congratulating Dawn DiPeri and Richard Raupp on their election to the Board of Education, as well as our new ex-officio Board of Education student members, Emily George and Alexander Foster. Their terms begin July 1, 2026, and we are eager to collaborate with them. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Thomasina Harrell and Clara Tebbens for their dedicated service to our students and community during their time on the Board.

Thank you for your unwavering support of the Center Moriches School District. By investing in our schools, you are directly investing in the bright future of every child in our community.

Sincerely,
