As many of you know, there is a proposal before the school boards about Tuckahoe merging with Southampton. Tuckahoe has one elementary school.
There were 2 meetings last week, and it has been covered in the Press. Be sure to read the pros and cons of this issue, as it will impact your taxes. I can email you the front page article that was in THE SOUTHAMPTON PRESS if you didn't see it, or you can find it on line.
This is a notice that was sent out that is interesting.
As currently envisioned, this merger will cause an estimated
8.7%
increase in the school taxes for residents of the Southampton
district.
Residents of the Tuckahoe district will see nearly a 2/3 drop in
taxes.
We urge Southampton residents to attend these meetings as we
currently
do not see sufficient benefits to moving forward with the
merger.
Please review the attached article for additional
information.
Sincerely,
The Southampton Association Executive
Board
