The Leader
An increase in state and federal aid in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic enabled school districts to keep the tax rate fairly stable, despite a proposed increase in spending in many instances.
Around the state, school districts are averaging a 2.9% spending increase and are seeking to raise the tax levy the total amount of property taxes collected by 1.4%, according to state Department of Education records.
Property owners within the Corning-Painted Post City School District will see a tax levy increase of 1.37% on the $118,111,924 proposed budget, but according to Superintendent Michelle Caulfield, the full value tax rate will decrease from $23.39 to $23.25 per $1,000 assessed property value.
