The Clarkstown Central School District Board of Education was scheduled to set the new tax rate at tonight’s meeting but that has been postponed. The reason for the delay and a new date were not immediately available when the announcement was made on Wednesday afternoon. As a result of the school district and town of Clarkstown’s $20 million tax certiorari and property tax reduction settlement with the Palisades Center on July 29, the district will be receiving several million dollars less in revenue.
The agenda for the 8 p.m. meeting includes a vote to appoint Dr. Joan Taylor as interim principal of Lakeview Elementary High School. The contract before the board sets her daily pay at $545 from August 9, 2013 through the end of the 2013-2014 school year. She will replace Michelle Martoni whose August 1st resignation was announced at the July 2nd meeting.
Other items include discussion of a board retreat and a vote to hire the New York State School Boards Association to rewrite and update the school board’s policies.
