The cost of maintaining a high quality school system is not as much as you might think. Lake George tax payers pay nearly the least school taxes, on average, of all surrounding communities. 

In these challenging times, students need to be supported by more than NYS and Federal funding, in order to enable an enhanced curriculum.
