Veterans who live in the East Aurora School District can now apply for tax exemptions since the School Board unanimously approved the measure minutes after the conclusion of a public hearing Wednesday night.
“We’ve been discussing it at the board level for the last 18 to 24 months,” School Superintendent Brian D. Russ said.
