Why Does the Library Tax Appear on the School Vote Ballot and Tax Bill?
The Library and the Geneva City School District are completely separate entities, each with its own board, budget, administration, and staff. NYS gives the school district the authority to run library votes and holding the vote along with the school budget vote saves the Library time and money. For the same cost savings and efficiency reasons, the school district collects the approved library tax levy funding and distributes it to the Library.
The library tax or library expenses are not part of the school district's budget. The district’s Board of Education decides whether to request a tax increase for their own school budget.
