FCSD says it has one of the lowest per pupil costs in Monroe County. Isn that a sign of good fiscal responsibility?
The 50% increase in school taxes over the last five years — a rate of increase more than double the inflation rate — suggests that past fiscal responsibility is eroding. This package, if approved, would certainly further erode fiscal responsibility. We’re saying the District has not done its homework on this huge package, which is more like a wish list. The concern over spiraling school taxes is not limited to Perinton. Voters in Webster and Penfield, two other major eastside towns with a history of supporting school initiatives, recently rejected similar bond proposals. We support continued funding of quality education, but we want renewed fiscal responsibility.
