Residents of Somers, NY who live in the North Salem School District will see their tax rate go up by 5.5% if voters approve the over $38 million budget on May 17. Three persons are running for two school board seats. The budget amount increases by 1.92% but the tax increase is to offset a drop in the use of savings and revenues, according to the story in LoHud.com. Eleven jobs are eliminated. Assistant superintendents and principals will get 2 percent raises but have agreed to donate that back to the district.
