What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure
This lets Rhinebeck schools spend up to $8.1 million to build secure entrances at both campuses, replace flooring, and replace classroom air systems at the elementary school, using $2 million in savings and borrowing the rest. The district estimates no added property tax for residents.
Proposed by: Rhinebeck Central School District Board of Education (resolution of Aug. 18, 2026)
The district's elected school board voted Aug. 18, 2026 to hold this vote. New York school districts need voter approval to borrow money for building projects.

A YES vote means
The district may spend up to $8.1 million on secure entrances, flooring, and elementary classroom air systems, using $2 million from savings and borrowing up to about $6 million.
A NO vote means
The district does not do this project or borrow for it. Proposition 2 also cannot take effect, because it depends on Proposition 1 passing.
