School funding: Superintendents weigh in on Legislature’s allocation
Actions of the North Dakota Legislature should reduce property taxes across the state, according to information from school officials. The Legislature funded about $850 million in tax relief aimed at reducing school property taxes and another $650 million in changes to the formula that distributes funding for kindergarten through senior high education. “The Legislature granted some significant tax relief,” said Bob Toso, superintendent of Jamestown Public Schools. “It continues to shift funding from local taxes to the state. More state funds also mean they can control more.”
