| | Budget Update: School Board Approves 2011-2012 Preliminary Budget Administration Authorized to Seek Approval to Discontinue Latin and German Program in Grades 6-8
At its regular meeting on January 24, 2011, the T/E School Board approved the proposed 2011-2012 preliminary budget. Current budget projections indicate that the T/E School District could face a budget imbalance of approximately $8.8 million as a result of local revenue erosion, contracted salary obligations, healthcare benefits, special education needs and mandated increases in state retirement contributions. The approved preliminary budget authorizes the administration to seek approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for Act 1 referendum exceptions which would allow the Board to raise taxes above the Act 1 index of 1.4%. The 2011-2012 preliminary budget includes a projected 4.2% property tax increase, which translates to an increase of $191 to the average assessed T/E homeowner. Click here for the full press release.
