Property taxes and funding our school

One of the most common questions that I've been asked during my time on the board is "how much of our property taxes are sent outside of Westford?"

The answer usually shocks people.  Zero.  The personal property taxes collected in Westford account for just over half of the funding sources for our school last year.

The other half of our funding comes from the State Education Fund and state/federal revenues dedicated to specific programs.
