The Argyle Central School District is proposing a budget of $13,513,030 and a tax levy increase of 1.0%, for a total tax levy of $4,958,480 for the 2022-23 school year.

The NYS Tax Cap formula allows the District to increase our 2022-23 tax levy by 1.0%, which is an average tax levy increase over the last five years.

The Argyle community has a long history of supporting our school and our Board of Education’s efforts to provide exceptional academic and extracurricular opportunities at a reasonable cost to the Argyle community. The Argyle Board of Education recognizes and greatly appreciates your continued support.

The 2022-23 budget as presented maintains all of our current academic, sports, and extracurricular programs and reflects the District’s efforts to continue offering a quality educational program for all of our students with a tax levy increase that is consistent with our previous budgets.

In addition, here are some additional facts about this budget: ▪ The proposed tax levy increase of 1.0%, or $49,880, is the District’s 2022-23 allowable property tax cap limit.
▪ The proposed budget is $311,670 more than the 2021-22 budget, an increase of 2.36%.
▪ The primary increase in this year’s budget is the cost of fuel used for heating and transportation.
