Property Tax Cap Forum Is Tonight at PCMS
District leaders look for feedback as they construct a budget limited for the first time by New York's new property tax cap.
Like their counterparts across New York, school leaders in Port Chester will sit down to craft a budget for the first time under the state's new property tax cap.
Last year, the district and even axed to save money on printing costs. This year promises more belt-tightening -- according to an administrative newsletter from Superintendent Edward Kliszus, Port Chester schools face a budget shortfall of between $2 and $4 million.
Parents, homeowners and concerned community members will get their chance to weigh in on the budget process tonight, when the district hosts a budget forum at Port Chester Middle School.
