ALBANY – As the Town of Palm Tree is about to be formed from a portion of the Town of Monroe and the Village of Kiryas Joel, Assemblyman James Skoufis has secured $1 million in special aid for the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District.
The funding will fully offset the net loss to the school district’s budget that will result from the boundary shift approved by the board last year.
The state legislature has just given final approval to accelerating creation
of the new town and Skoufis secured the $1 million commitment to fully
protect taxpayers in the school district.
“The final outcome is one that better promotes political independence in Monroe all the while fully and completely protects Monroe-Woodbury’s taxpayers from these changes,” he said on Friday.
The district plans to use the new money to make improvements to a number of athletic fields over the next year.
