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.
