Directs East Ramapo and its school district to refund 2024-2025 school taxes due to an erroneous budget deficit assertion.
New York Senate Bill S06489 mandates the tax levying body of East Ramapo and the East Ramapo Central School District to refund 2024-2025 school taxes. This follows an erroneous assertion that the district faced a severe budget deficit, leading to an additional tax levy hike of 4.38%, totaling 5.38%. The increase resulted in over $6 million in school taxes collected. An external audit later revealed a surplus of over $30 million, potentially as high as $100 million.
