School District corrects tax rate calculation error for 2019-2020 school budget

Following the Governor Wentworth Regional School District's Deliberative Session, a member of the public alerted the SAU Office to some problems with the Projected Distribution of School Costs sheet. Our business administrator has corrected these problems and created an accurate document. The projected tax rates have been affected by the changes. The good news is that they are lower than the original projections. In New Durham's case the projection is $.46, this is thirty cents lower than the former projection.

Please see the attached memorandum from our business administrator and the updated Projected Distribution of Costs sheet which outlines the factors influencing the projections for each town. More detailed information on the budget is posted on the District website: www.gwrsd.org. Thank you very much.
