A Tax Cap Is Not the Solution August 9, 2008
It is important that everyone understand the damage Property Tax Cap legislation will cause to the mission of school districts across New York State.
This Statewide School Finance Consortium Video (click video-box to play) explains exactly how a tax cap would jeopardize the functions of many school districts.
The video also provides information about other substantive issues that politicians must thoughtfully address to secure real cost savings for school districts before any tax cap is contemplated.
