Library’s Claim to a Portion of the School District’s Direct Assessment (FAQ)
Dear Island Park Community Members,
As you may be aware, the Island Park Public Library has requested for the school district to share a portion of the LIPA direct assessment payment with them. As previously discussed, the school district has fulfilled all of its legal obligations and remitted all real property tax payments to the library. Furthermore, the settlement agreement between Nassau County and LIPA did not mention, nor require, that any payments be made to the public library. The library has received the voter approved amount it budgeted to receive through real property taxes.
Please read the attached Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document which is intended to clarify the Board of Education’s unchanged position on this matter.
Your friends and neighbors,
The Island Park Board of Education
