Fadden, Murphy win election to Lake Placid school board
LAKE PLACID — Voters in the Lake Placid Central School District passed a $23.1 million budget for the coming school year by a wide margin on Tuesday, and elected two new board members — Christopher Fadden, who was on the ballot, and Stephanie Murphy, who was a write-in candidate.
According to unofficial results, with 597 total voters, the budget passed with 80.56% of the vote, 481-104.
The budget carries an $18,079,462, tax levy, which is a 1.82% increase from last year and $127,721 below the 2.53% tax cap.
This puts the estimated tax rate at $5.28 per $1,000 in assessed value for both Wilmington and North Elba, an increase of about 9 cents from last year. This means a property with a value of $300,000 would pay about $1,585 in school district taxes in 2025-26.
