Brookline voters are asked to approve a 4.2% increase to their property taxes
The proposed operating override has high stakes for Brookline’s schools. If approved, the tax increase will raise $11.98 million, phased in gradually over three years. Failure to pass the override will result in an unprecedented $3.25 million budget reduction in fiscal year 2024 for the schools, potentially leading to the loss of 43 positions across various programs.
