*Public Notice*
regarding Monticello School District's Contract for Excellence Monticello is one of dozens of school districts across New York
State designated as a high-needs district. As a result of this
classification, the district has received an increase in state aid.
The state mandates that this aid be spent within very specific
guidelines. The district is required to create a Contract for
Excellence (C4E) which explains exactly where and how the money is
to be spent. As part of our requirements as a C4E district, we must
spend a portion of our state aid, specifically $674,324, on new
programs and innovations. Beginning this year, we are required by
law to present our plan and request public commentary.
The following are Monticello’s C4E plan and some supporting
documents with detailed information about each school:

School
tax relief info
All area residents who own their own homes can reduce their school
property taxes through the New York State School Tax Relief
(STAR) program - regardless of age or income. But, the savings is
not automatic; you need to apply for it through your local tax
assessor's office to be eligible for the tax break. Taxpayers receiving the Basic STAR
exemption do not need to apply every year, but seniors receiving
Enhanced STAR must reapply. More |
