Property valuation
 
  One way for boards of education to protect their bottom lines is to carefully monitor taxpayer challenges to property valuations. Legal attention to proceedings at a county board of revision or the State Board of Tax Appeals can help preserve a school district's tax base. Similarly, various tax abatement laws provide boards of education with advance notice of abatement agreements which may reduce tax revenue, and allow for the negotiation of agreements for payments in lieu of taxes.
