be lower than expected

GOFFSTOWN -
School officials say the anticipated school portion of
the tax rate could decrease by as much as 50 cents per
$1,000 in property value, in stark contrast to the 59
cent increase school officials said was possible if
state aid had remained at 2006-07 levels.
The district said it was receiving $6,463,633 in state
aid. The amount is $1,404,696 more than what the
district got last year.
"The impact of this increase in state aid will
result in a significant decrease in the school tax rate
and will help ease the tax burden for Goffstown
taxpayers," said school board Chairman Keith
Allard.
Officials said it was too early to say what the exact
school tax rate would be.
