Great news! So this means our school taxes won't have to go up again this year.
ReplyDeleteOh Sorry, forgot it's April fools day...
Unfortunately, it looks like the RS has overstated the YoY increase in state aid to the HCSD by $15+ million. We don't have final figures yet, but we're hoping to have everything sorted out and posted online by this Friday.
ReplyDelete@Tiffany--The amount I quote comes from the press release. Unfortunately, the Register-Star makes it sound as though HCSD is getting $16.8 million more than before, but in fact, as I understand it, $16.8 is the total amount, which represents a 7.46 percent increase.
DeleteCarole, exactly.
