| Finance Committee Reviews Budget Strategies and Recommends Proposed Final Budget at May 2nd Workshop The T/E School Board Finance Committee met on May 2, 2011 to discuss the 2011-2012 budget and recommend a proposed final budget to be voted on by the Board at the May 9, 2011 regular school board meeting. The Finance Committee is working on a proposed final budget that includes a tax increase of 3.77%. Tax increases for the 2011-2012 school year are limited to 1.4% by Act 1, the Pennsylvania Taxpayer Relief Act. To generate additional revenue, the School Board directed the administration in January 2011 to apply to the State for referendum exceptions to the Act 1 tax rate limit. The State approved the District's application for exceptions, providing the School Board with the option to raise taxes above the Act 1 index by an additional 2.37%, for a total tax increase of 3.77%. Throughout the year, the Finance, Education and Facilities Committees have studied budget strategies to address the budget deficit. The proposed final budget includes revenue enhancements and expenditure reduction strategies of $3.92 million. Click here for the full press release. |
