The Valley Central School District has been served with tax certiorari proceedings from Allegiance Healthcare for the last four school years.

To better protect the District’s significant financial stake in the outcome of such proceedings, the Board of Education has decided to intervene which will ensure that the District’s legal counsel will be able to actively participate in all court developments, including settlement negotiations.
