Why is the OEF needed?
Don't taxes support the schools?

Tax dollars only provide the basic education needs of Oneida County School students. The OEF provides funds for supplemental materials and equipment that keeps our schools up to date and our students competitive with those from other districts. Today's schools are in need of materials that exceed  the resources of local and state tax bases. In order for our children to succeed we need to provide them with the best education possible.
