The Somers Central School District Board of Education approved a tax levy of $91,447,907 for the 2025–26 school year as part of its business consent agenda Tuesday, producing an estimated tax rate of $192.23 per $1,000 of assessed value, Board trustee Amanda said.
The levy was included in the business consent motion the board moved and seconded and was approved by voice vote. Amanda told the board the levy amount is calculated from the town-set tax rate and the district’s total assessed property value and thanked voters who approved the district budget in May.
Why it matters: The levy determines property tax collections the town will collect on the district’s behalf and funds the district’s operating budget for the coming year.
Board discussion and context: Amanda explained the numbers for the public and said district Business Office staff are available to explain the calculation. Chris, district staff, noted the board’s approval authorizes the town to collect the levy on the district’s behalf. The board did not receive public comment on the levy during the meeting.
The board approved the business consent agenda, which also bundled other routine items (minutes, personnel, donations, and leases) that were moved and seconded and passed by voice vote. No roll-call vote with member names was recorded in the public minutes provided.
Next steps: The town will collect the approved levy amount; district staff said they are available to answer taxpayer questions about how the rate was calculated.
