4 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
5 property tax law with respect to the 2025-2026 assessment roll for all
6 of the 2025-2026 school taxes and all of the 2025 general taxes for the

21 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
22 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
23 unpaid.
