A rate increase of 34¢ per $100 assessed property value will allow us to do the following:

• Keep up with rising operating costs, including energy, health insurance, student support services, and other personnel expenses
• Sustain operations affected by reductions in state funding
• Continue and support school safety and security initiatives
• Continue ongoing programs (costs such as textbooks, instructional supplies and materials)
• Continue to attract and retain teachers and other employees through competitive compensation
• Offer students the option to attend the high school that best suits their interests and aspirations, regardless of their feeder pattern by providing a shuttle service between our three high schools
• Fund teachers, equipment and production costs for the School of the Arts at Newark High School, which does not qualify for the funding that is available for other electives

This rate increase is based on assessed property value, not market value. Follow the steps below to help you determine the assessed value of your home, which is based on the 1983 assessment.
