Our Board of Education takes its role as stewards of our District with great pride and a strong sense of purpose. At the same time, as they collaborate with the District and oversee the budget process, our Board also recognizes the balance between high-quality programs and upholding fiscal responsibility to our community, of which they and I are proud members.
We are proud to propose the 2025-26 budget that:
- Preserves all academic and extracurricular programs
- Aligns with and fully supports our Strategic Plan
- Places student achievement as the top priority, including our students’ social and emotional learning needs

I would also like to thank outgoing Board of Education Member John Marucci for his dedicated six years of service to our Board and District, with the last two years as our Board President. John has been a staunch supporter of our Batavia programs and has always prioritized the needs of our students at the forefront of his decision-making.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about the proposed 2025-26 budget.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. It continues to be a personal and professional pleasure to serve our students, staff, and families as the Superintendent of Schools for the Batavia City School District.
Sincerely,
