Understanding the NYS Property Tax Cap

There is a great deal of confusion over what the new tax cap legislation means to municipalities including school districts.  Capital BOCES and Questar III's State Aid Planning and Communication Services have created a six-page brochure that provides an overview of the law and attempts to provide answers to the most frequently asked questions.  Please click this link to access this brochure.

Additionally, the Office of the State Comptroller has created a link on the website to address this new legislation.  That website can be found at:

Dryden Central School District
Mission Statement:
Dryden Schools promote academic achievement and youth development, preparing students for lives of productive employment, sound relationships, and responsible citizenship in our community and the world.
Vision Statement:
The Dryden Central School District is an outstanding place to live and attend school because of its shared commitment to the highest quality education and the safest, most productive academic environment. Children are prepared for their school years by the time they reach kindergarten and prepared for success in college when they leave high school. Instruction and performance data are to be exemplary. Staff turnover is low because morale is high. A stable staff with high morale assumes continuity for students from year to year. Students know that all members of the district respect them, protect them, and show them, by example, that learning leads to a more fulfilling life. Funding for schools is sufficient without undue burden on local taxpayers. Facilities are safe, clean, and renovated on a scheduled and affordable basis.
