Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz has scheduled three community conversations on school districts. At each event the County Executive will present a powerpoint presentation which will be followed by a question and answer session. The Poloncarz administration’s report on examining school district expenses was released in April and compares spending and administrative costs in Erie County schools.  

 

Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said, “Since 2015 Erie County municipalities have participated in shared services panels, identifying millions of dollars in recurring annual savings to taxpayers, including as part of the 2017 comprehensive panel mandated by New York State. Erie County and its municipalities levy only 36% of the property taxes assessed in the county and have participated in shared services initiatives with good results, while school districts levy 52% of property taxes but were not been required to participate in the 2017 panel. As such we felt it was important to look at potential savings that could occur in the area that is the biggest cost driver of property taxes – school districts.”
