Will the Maryvale School Approve the Tax Break for Veterans In the School District

[sunnyday77]

A tax break was approved by Governor Cuomo Awhile ago. But the issue was he told the School boards they had to decided if They wanted to give the break on school taxes to Veterans.

Cheektowaga has 4 school districts and all decide on their own. Cheektowaga central passed the last year . Maryvale had two open forums to discuss with the residents . They failed both attemps to make a decision and decided to have a special proposal on their voting ballet during the school board election. They wanted to hear from the community to see if they agreed or disagreed on giving Veterans a break. WEll school elections were may 18 , 2015 , The community agreed by 77% that the vets school get the break , So now I spoke to several veterans in my area and they were happy to hear about the results. But I had to inform them that its not a sure thing because I spoke to the superintendent of Maryvale and her reply was Its still up to the school board to vote on the issue of a tax break . The can say no even tho the residents were for it. I asked if this would be done at the next school board meeting?

They are stalling and playing games with Veterans and this is unfair, It doesnt take a year to decided . why are they doing this? So one need to stand up for Veterans they protect our country and risk their lives . Its memorial daY weekend and I pray and honor the vets who died protecting this county . God bless the ones who has ever served .

So one need to stand up for Veterans they protect our country and risk their lives.

So the tax break is only for veterans who served in active duty in a combat zone?

The public Voted and they are ok with the idea in the Maryvale district . 77% in favor . This would also be a break for widows of veteran too.

I've been in Florida for 25 27 days, where do the veterans exception stands now that the vote came in. Will the town notify the Vets or is it up to the vets to learn more?

the vote from the residents were all in favor. june 8 is next school board meeting , the board still has to vote on it. So it still may not get approved. If it does I would think there would be some kind of letter.

They are likely hedging because the implementation of a veteran's exemption increases taxes on non-veterans to make up the difference, and because there are several types of exemption to choose from.
