Rockingham town tax down, school tax up

Like us on Facebook.   BELLOWS FALLS — The Rockingham Select Board approved a town tax rate that includes a tax decrease needed to support town services in the coming year. However, the decrease — just about two cents — will likely be offset by an eight-cent increase in the school tax rate, according to Town Manager Scott Pickup. Pickup told the board Wednesday night that the state Agency of Education had finally released individual towns’ school tax rates, and Rockingham’s was up 8.4 cents. Christopher Pratt, superintendent of the Windham Northeast Supervisory Union, said Friday that the 8.4 cent increase actually resulted in a 4.5 percent increase in Rockingham school taxes over the current tax rate, and he said much of the increase was not a result of the state’s education spending formula. Voters approved a $10.7 million school budget in March.
