NYS PTA Opposes Tax Caps

“New York State PTA recognizes the need to examine property tax relief options for NY's overburdened taxpayer. However, imposing property tax caps on school districts has the potential to erode the long held belief in local control and undermine the ability to provide quality education for every child.”

Tax Caps have hurt education in other states
they have increased gaps in student achievement
between high and low need schools
NYS PTA believes in the value of local control of schools
NYS PTA believes there are alternative to tax caps
that have not been sufficiently explored.
