Letter to the editor: School taxes should be reduced

Tribune-Review | Sunday, April 19, 2020 9:00 a.m.

Since Gov. Tom Wolf has made the decision to close all schools for the remaining school year and with school taxes coming due, we taxpayers should be contacting the governor and our school districts asking for a reduction in our school taxes.

Understanding that the teachers are still working and need paid, along with the skeleton crews working, no buses running and operating expenses being lower or eliminated, all together warrants tax reduction.

If other agencies are giving discounts and refunds, so should the school districts. We should not be paying for services that aren’t being utilized.
