Simple and straight forward question.
Property owners understand that the biggest hit to their
pockets is not the land your home sits on but the school
the neighborhood kids attend.

If New York City does not open its' schools then why should
property owners be subjected to paying the full amount on school taxes.

There is a minimum one pays for gas,electric and water whether you use it or not.
I believe under these circumstances the same should apply to the City school wide
system. If there is a 20% no show by choice then drop the school tax by 20% as well.



What is your opinion?
Curious minds would like to know....

What you say is very logical but it would have consequences for the DOE. If the DOE doesn’t get funding because lack of taxes, the teacher’s roles and salaries will be at risk. The teacher’s union wants to have their cake and eat it too; schools stay closed and full salaries.

Teachers need to make massive concessions. What other tax paying job gets full benefits and get to stay home. It took a week for teachers to answer their students. What a waste of money.

At least they are trying to make an effort to reopen school. Their concerns are valid, so I’m fine with it.

My logic is that since all schools are still kept intact therefore someone has to pay for the maintenance, until after they have decided to demolish them for good.

Don’t forget that your tax money helps make the products out of the schools who will pay tax into the system to keep you retired/non-working folks fed and taken care of until, well, after you stop eating...... so stop complaining...

Lol people would De-fund Schools, where teachers have to buy their own stationary and kids have to share books and seats before they De-fund the HIGHLY CRIMINAL NYPD and the TERRORIST MILITARY. If Defunded the military would have a few less bombs to murder people with and the police force would have a few less weapons to gun down and gas peaceful protesters but such prospects are unthinkable to the average boomer. LEL, that's what you call cognitive dissonance.

The state is bankrupt, chiefly because the TRAITOROUS, TREASONOUS AND TREACHEROUS, TRUMP has refused to bail out New York and other Democrat Cities. To not charge property taxes now would exacerbate the issue. Yes we Democrats had our financial problems before the crisis but to deny us funding now is FINANCIAL TERRORISM by the Trump Regime!!!

The payments can't be that high. If that's what you're complaining about then it seems you are closer to being one of the homeless vagrants on the UWS you "property owners" despise so, perhaps you should reevaluate your priorities lest you fall out of your feathered bed and need to rent one?

How about no. How about we defund the Military and police by 20% and invest in Rent to own housing, Civic clean up and education so your property taxes don't have to carry this huge tax burden. You came in here and complained about NYC asking for a bail out but if we don't don't it where do you think the balance is going to come from? (Spoiler your property taxes are probably going to go up!)

You are delusional and depraved. Please seek Jesus and turn away from your highly racist and elitist ways.

If minimum wage employees can work at target Costco and Walmart in packed stores why can’t teachers?

Only teachers are getting paid full salary since March and are still home that I know off due to the tax payers. Of course they don’t want to go back. Yet I remember all the videos in April of teacher crying saying they miss their students

There are always two sides of the story, and is hard for us to know unless we are the teacher. There is no need to go too crazy about it. Why? Because we are not in control, so say all you want, it won’t change the decision make by those officials.

You know they are still teaching right, and essentially having to adapt their face to face curriculum for online learning.

You don't think there's work involved in transitioning an entire curriculum from the centuries norm of face to face classroom teaching to trying to do online coursework in the course of several months? The hell is wrong with you?
