VVS budget fails: What happens now?
VERNON, NY (WUTR/WFXV/WPNY) — Voters went to the polls all over the Mohawk Valley on Tuesday to vote on school budgets for the 2025-26 school year. While most of the budgets passed with considerable margins, one managed to get the disapproval of voters. The Vernon-Verona-Sherrill budget failed on Tuesday, May 20, needing a supermajority of 60% due to its tax levy increase of just under six percent. However, its 612-574 approval did not meet that criteria, which leaves its board of education making plans for next steps. The district's $48 million budget only carried with it an increase of less than one percent from last year's budget. With the failure of this budget, the school board — of whom three are newly elected as of Tuesday night — will have to consider one of two options: move forward with a contingency budget or revote the budget, either as-is or reworked. Should the board send a contingency budget to a vote, the district would have to cut almost $1 million — just over one percent — from the current budget. According to the district's newsletter, that would mean suspending or outright eliminating programs and reducing staff. It could also mean losing extracurricular activities, including all athletic programs. An adoption of a contingency budget would also mean — according to New York State Education Law — that the district would not be able to move forward with a proposed capital project at E.A. McAllister Elementary in Sherrill. The district would also be forced to charge organizations for the use of school facilities. According to the district's newsletter, a budget re-vote is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17. There is no set date yet for the board to meet to work on a contingency budget or rework the defeated budget. Meanwhile, the other measure for the district — bonding for the purchase of four buses and two vans — passed by a vote of 742-440. Alana Boylan, Jamie Jones, and Thomas Moats all won seats to the Board of Education. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

UNVRS will burst onto the global clubbing scene with a blow-out party on May 30 - with 15,000 revellers bouncing to superstar DJs.

Ku Club rocked the spot from 1979-95, and then it was the iconic Privilege Ibiza until 2020. Eager clubbers have snapped up tickets for The Opening - which are still on sale for £130 a pop. World-famous DJs including Carl Cox, Jamie Jones and Michael Bibi will sound-track the late-night bash. Promoters have teased "scale, spectacle and storytelling" enhanced through "next level" sound and lighting. UNVRS will open up in time to join the likes of Pacha and Amnesia for Ibiza's 2025 season. Organisers have already booked the biggest names as residents this summer - with David Guetta and Fisher amongst them Guinness World Records has officially crowned UNVRS as the world's biggest club - handing over the title previously held by Privilege. The hedonism haven spans a staggering 6,500 square metres - around the same size as a footie pitch. Promoters promised a "never-before-seen concept in nightlife entertainment". Katie Price, 46, parties with fans inside Bolton nightclub as she dives into ball pit and fires a confetti canon It has been touted as combining the "high-end service, luxury and attention to detail of a nightclub with the infrastructure, scale and ambition of arena events". The group behind UNVRS also launched Ushuaïa - where Calvin Harris had a residency last summer - and Hï, formerly Space, which was voted the world's best club for the third year in a row. Leading the operation is The Night League founder and CEO Yann Pissenem, who said: 'Bringing [UNVRS] to life has been one of the most intense and emotional journeys of my career. "After more than two years of full dedication, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our teams at The Night League and Ushuaïa Entertainment, my partners, and my brother Romain." 9 After years of work, the club is finally read to welcome clubbers this summer Credit: Bav Media 9 Ibiza's famous nightlife is dominated by a small number of super-clubs Credit: theushuaiaexperience 9 The venue fell into disrepair after the Covid pandemic forced Privilege to close down Credit: Bav Media 9 UNVRS's organisers hope to match the prestige of Privilege's parties during the 2000s and 2010s Credit: Alamy Pissenem promised to deliver the "world's first hyper-club" on the site after Privilege closed down in 2020. Celebs including Grace Jones and David Bowie regularly hung out in the much-loved party palace, until it succumbed to pressures of the Covid pandemic. The venue fell into disrepair following closure, and quickly became a draw for travellers wanting to see the ghosts of parties past. UNVRS has bumped up the venue's 10,000 capacity by 50 percent, meaning 15,000 partygoers will crowd beneath the roof. They will not escape Ibiza's extortionate prices, however, with a stand five-drink package setting you back £100 - on top of sky-high ticket prices. 9 The venue fell into disrepair after Privilege closed in 2020 Credit: Bav Media
