FYI for anyone looking to buy in Sachem SD

Just an FYI, I heard today that they are proposing an increase in school taxes of 18%, which is HUGE!

FH's cousins are in that district, and I have not been impressed by the prep they are getting in school (I tutored them for their Regents, and they are smart kids, but they hadn't been told some pretty important things about writing those essays and dbq's!).

That is their contingency budget.
Their real one is 21%

It depends on what township you live in. I live in Islip and our taxes wouldn't be going up as much as if I lived in Brookhaven or Smithtown. It is still crazy but I went to Sachem and it IS a good district and we live in a nice neighborhood.

The real proposed budget is 18%, the contingency budget will be lsightly lower but still in the double digits (the state uses a formula to determine the contingency budget increase). I am very torn -- Sachem teacher and resident...
