Two small city school district superintendents in Orange County told The Epoch Times that they support a statewide ballot measure this fall to lift the debt ceiling on their districts to the same level as other districts in the state.

The measure proposes to remove an old constitutional limit on small city school district debts and allow the borrowing of up to 10 percent of the districtwide value of taxable real properties, the ceiling that applies to most of New York’s other school districts under state law.
