Ridgewood NJ, in the Ridgewood news article , “BOE presentation supports full-day kindergarten” , the Ridgewood News mistakenly implies that the Full-Day Kindergarten will cost taxpayers an additional $111 per year :
“While the program will cost $930,000, according to Best, it will only cost average homeowners $111 per year ($16 per $100,000 assessed value of their house).”.https://www.northjersey.com/news/education/presentation-supports-full-day-kindergarten-1.1669299″
While the the BOE website also states ,”What would be the tax impact on a “yes” vote for the second question on full-day Kindergarten? ○ If full-day Kindergarten is passed by the voters, the average Village assessed home of $693,904 would have taxes increased by approximately $111.” Also a bit unclear .
All indications are that the property tax increase on average Village assessed home of $693,904 is more likely to increase $111 per month ,not $111 per year.
