The Saratoga Springs City School District has learned that a community member recently received a scam phone call from someone claiming to represent the district and requesting payment of school taxes. We want to assure our community that this call did not come from the district.
Please be reminded that the district does not initiate tax collection or payment requests by telephone. All official school tax bills are issued annually in September and information regarding accepted payment methods, including online payment through MuniciPay for payment, payment by mail, and use of the district drop box, is available on our website at www.saratogaschools.org/budget/tax-information. Credit card payments are not accepted by phone or in person at the counter.
We encourage community members to be cautious if they receive any unexpected request for payment. Do not share personal or financial information with unknown callers. If you receive a suspicious call, please report it to local law enforcement immediately.
