Long Islanders are set to decide on their school budgets and school board members on Tuesday.
On average, budgets have increased for around 4.2% for the upcoming school year.
The proposed tax increases average around 1.5%.
There is financial aid coming from both Albany and Washington D.C., which helped keep down tax hikes.
Most polls open at 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. in Nassau County and western Suffolk County.
Some don't open until the afternoon in eastern Suffolk County.
