Under Gov. Shapiro's proposed budget, school districts with the highest local tax burdens are eligible for tax equity supplements, a new form of state aid.
To calculate who gets the supplements, the proposal looks at each district's local effort rate — how much tax revenue it generates, compared to its market values and personal incomes — and ranks them statewide. Districts with tax efforts above the 66th percentile (a 1.55% rate) qualify for supplements. Those awards then get reduced based on their local capacity — another measure of a community's wealth that looks at incomes and market values in comparison to the needs of its students.
Eligible districts are shaded in green, while ineligible districts are in brown.
