School Board Approves 2011-2012 Budget

On June 13, 2011 the School Board approved the 2011-2012 School District final budget in the amount of $109,098,908. This budget amount is comprised of $107,186,418 in anticipated spending needed for operations and $1,912,500 for contingencies. Budgeting an amount for contingencies allows the School District to respond to unexpected operational needs without reopening the budget.  The 2011-2012 budget includes a property tax increase of 3.77%, or .6774 mills, which will produce $3.22 million in revenue. This tax rate increase translates into an average annual increase of about $171 on an average T/E home assessed at $252,601. Click for the full press release.

Tax Study Group Members to Be Announced at June 20, 2011 Meeting
The T/E School Board plans to announce the members of the Tax Study Group at a public Finance Committee meeting on June 20, 2011 at 7:30 pm in the Tredyffrin/Easttown Administration Offices at 940 West Valley Road, Suite 1700 in Wayne. Click here for the Finance Committee meeting agenda.

This citizen group, in public meetings, will study the effect that an Earned Income Tax (EIT) would have on the school district and its residents. Following its study, the Tax Study Group will present the pros and cons of an EIT to the School Board and community members. The Board will evaluate the information presented and make a determination on the next steps in the process.
