PETITION FOR LOWER SCHOOL TAXES IN HASTINGS
- Target: Dr. Robert Shaps and members of the Hastings School Board
- Sponsored by: The Hastings Alliance For Affordable Taxes (www.hastingstaxes.com)
I support lower school taxes in Hastings for several reasons. Among them:
*For the past five school years through June 2009, Hastings school taxes increased 47.7 % ; for the six school years through June 2009, school taxes increased 59.5%. For the 10 year period through June 2010, school taxes increased 107.53%. The number of students declined 6.8% for the past five school years through June 2009 and 5.89% for the past six school years through June 2009. The tax-increase data is before the effect of Basic STAR and Enhanced STAR and before the effect of the Middle Class STAR rebate. Percentages have been derived by the Hastings Alliance for Affordable Taxes from School District data.
- Our school taxes went up by nearly 50% over the past 5 years, while the number of students went down by about 8%.*
- The current level of school taxes imposes a severe hardship on many residents.
- Hastings can offer good schools for significantly less than the $27,500 per student we're currently spending.
