Reply To: East Ramapo budget should be voted down

“What I havent seen mentioned here before is ER currently has one of the lowest school tax rates in the county.”

Nothing wrong with that, even assuming that’s accurate. Some counties have lower. Being among the group of some of the lower taxed counties is nothing unusual as some counties will always be among the lower taxed ones.

Residents of many counties prefer lower taxes.

“And according to one of the districts latest bulletins, ER private school students on average are receiving 2000 dollars in benefits per student. This includes money going toward busing, special ed., Title 1,2 ,3 etc..”

Pubic school students, on average – including regular students, special ed, Title 1-2-3, etc. – receive benefits valued many many multiples the benefits received by the average private school student.
