LIVINGSTON MANOR and ROSCOE, NY — There will be a public hearing on local tax exemptions at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, February 18, before the organizational meeting of the Livingston Manor-Roscoe Central School District Board of Education. The meeting will be held at the Livingston Manor school auditorium.

All existing local tax exemptions offered by each school district must be re-approved by the new LM-R board and everyone must re-apply for them by the March 1 deadline.

The LM-R BOE organizational meeting will begin at 6 p.m., where the board is expected to address the exemptions. After the exemptions are approved, residents will be able to re-apply through their towns. Residents should contact their local assessor for details on how to apply or reapply.

The district will provide more details on the exemptions after they are approved by the board on each district’s website.

“I thank you for your patience as we work through details of the new district,” Superintendent John Evans said.
