Last year, voters in the West Irondequoit School District twice rejected a budget that attempted to override the state's property tax cap.
So the district ran under an austerity plan, and many residents raised funds to help pay for some programs.
This year's spending plan restores those programs, and proposes a 2.6 percent tax increase, below the state's cap of 3.1 percent.
That's according to James Brennan, Assistant Superintendent for Finance with the West Irondequoit School District.
"We want everyone to voice their opinion relative to the budget, but we think we've put a good budget together that people hopefully will endorse."
Many voters told WXXI they were concerned about the tax increase, while others call it unavoidable, but necessary to support the quality education available in Irondequoit.
Other voters said they feel it's time for some new faces on the school board.
Six candidates are vying for three seats.
Polls are open until 9.
