Budget development is a year-round process. Developing the annual school budget proposal is a year-round process that involves the Mayfield Board of Education and district and school leaders. The process culminates when residents go to the polls to vote on a school budget proposal for the following year and to elect Board of Education members.

2025-26 Budget
Residents of the Mayfield Central School District will go to the polls Tuesday, May 20, to vote on a proposed $23,327,617 budget for the 2025-26 school year.
The proposed budget keeps the tax levy increase to 3.37%, which is within the state’s “tax cap.”
The district has worked to identify key priority areas, develop action items for supporting these priorities and build a spending plan that aligns with our vision. These priority areas and subsequent plan were developed in collaboration with our Board of Education, leadership team and school community as part of our Strategic Plan for the coming years.
This year’s budget has a strong focus on expanding opportunities for students both in and outside of the classroom — from literacy initiatives and career-readiness programs to enriching field trips and guest speakers.
“We have developed a plan that will support our current programming while creating more meaningful educational experiences for our students,” said Superintendent Christopher Clapper. “Students should leave our doors as well-rounded individuals who are both academically proficient and equipped with the social emotional skills needed to succeed.”
The Board of Education unanimously approved the proposed budget on Tuesday, April 8.
Community voting will take place from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20, in the Gym Lobby at the Jr/Sr High School, 27 School St., Mayfield.
