“This is an important moment for schools and property taxpayers in our district,” the three lawmakers said in a statement. “For years we were underfunded and property taxpayers had to make up the difference. The funding provided to our schools today will make sure our students receive a world-class education while preventing future hikes in property taxes.”

Bramnick and Munoz supported legislation in 2018 reversing a decade of school funding inequity, which hurt schools in their district facing growing student populations.
