Albany Comets – Understanding School Funding and Local Tax Information

Recently, community members, myself included, received property tax information that has understandably raised questions about how school funding works and how local school taxes are determined. School funding is complex, and changes in taxes are often influenced by multiple factors beyond any single decision or program including local property valuation and state legislative priorities. The purpose of this document is to provide clear, accurate, and transparent facts about school funding. If you’d like to have a conversation about this information please contact me at 608-862-3135.
