About the “Tax Cap”… • What is the Tax Cap? – Starting with the 2012-13 school year: • Places a cap (often referred to as 2% but actually based on a calculation) on the growth in tax levy for budgets approved by the traditional 50%+1 vote margin • Requires a 60% voter approval for any tax levy growth above the “Cap” • Mandates a 0% tax levy growth if voters do not approve the budget • Are there any exemptions to the Tax Cap? – Yes, the calculation includes a variable allowance for: • Changes in expenditures due to voter approved capital expenditures • Changes in contributions to pension plans in excess of 2% of payroll • Court ordered judgments • Not excluded - Mandates – The costs of mandates are NOT excluded from the Tax Cap
