Bill > A313

Introduced Session

This bill authorizes an adjustment to the school district tax levy cap for expenditures incurred by the district in connection with the opening of a new school facility during the budget year. The allowable adjustment will include costs associated with the new facility that are related to new teaching staff members, support staff, materials and equipment, custodial and maintenance expenditures, and other costs as may be determined by the Commissioner of Education. It is unrealistic to expect a school district to accommodate within its base 2% tax levy increase the new costs that will be incurred by the district in the first year that it opens a new school facility. This bill will allow a school district to increase its tax levy in that first year of the school's operation to reflect these new facility-related expenditures.
