SNAPSHOT 2000 Property Wealth Item Definitions

Wealth is defined as total taxable property value divided by the total number of students, and is used as an indicator of a district's ability to raise local funds on a per pupil basis. The property value used is the alternative measure for school district wealth for 1999 as determined by the Comptroller's Property Tax Division. This value incorporates certain exemptions and matches the definition used for calculating state aid. The total number of students is for the 1999-2000 school year. Districts are classified into 20 categories with approximately equal numbers of students in each, or approximately five percent of total students per category. The 148 non-taxing districts charters and the special statutory districts form a separate group because they have no taxable property wealth.
