The 2016 budget process is more complicated than ever, in part because the 0.12% growth factor in the calculation of district tax caps will allow virtually no growth in district tax levies without supermajority approval. Moderate changes to the calculation of the school district property tax cap would provide districts with much needed relief. The New York State School Boards Association has provided a host of resources on this issue. Visit the New York State School Boards Association website to join the call to reform the tax cap.
