About the Senior Citizen Tax Rebate Program:
==The Littleton Public Schools Senior Citizen Tax Rebate Program utilizes the senior citizen’s guiding hand of experience and knowledge to help our students succeed in school and life. This program was started in 1990 and is funded by the Littleton Public School’s Board of Education. Participants are issued a rebate on their taxes for services rendered, thus reducing their property taxes. In the 2011-2012 school year, there were 184,307 hours donated by members of our community which in turn calculates to $1,760,131 of voluntary contribution or 107 full-time employees! Participants in the Senior Citizen Tax Rebate Program volunteered an additional 8000 hours over and above their contracted hours - remarkable! The Senior Citizen Tax Rebate Program provides qualified senior citizens the opportunity to earn a rebate for all or part of the school portion of their property taxes. The goal is to not only give tax relief to senior citizens, but also enhance student learning by incorporating the skills and knowledge of our valued senior citizens. Increased community involvement and awareness of our schools needs and services are also objectives of the program. Participants are from all walks of life sharing their expertise with our students. Seniors are assigned to a specific site, and can earn up to $515.00 tax rebate per school year. Assignments are offered to participants based on their qualifications, availability and location. They are assigned in: classrooms assisting the teacher, offices, clinics, computer labs, cafeterias, and maintenance. Benefits for the senior include greater control of their economic destiny, opportunity to share their life experiences and accumulated knowledge, increase their community involvement and know that they are an essential part of our community. Benefits to the Littleton community are infinite. To return to Littleton Public Schools Website: [|www.littletonpublicschools.net]==
