Mount Lebanon board approves 2025–26 finance package, including final budget and tax resolutions

The Mount Lebanon Board of School Directors voted to approve the district’s finance agenda for the 2025–26 school year at its May 21 meeting, including the final budget and several tax and contracts resolutions.

Board member Miss Johnson moved the motion to approve the finance items; the motion passed on a roll‑call vote with all members present voting aye. The approved finance package included the treasurer’s report, the monthly list of bills, a list of tax refunds, budgetary transfers for May, the 2025–26 Homestead/Farmstead Resolution, the 2025–26 Real Estate Tax Resolution, the Act 511 tax resolution for 2025–26, and the district’s final 2025–26 budget.

Other approved items on the finance agenda were a list of contracts in excess of $100,000; appointment of the school district treasurer; exoneration of real estate tax collection for listed properties; a municipal real estate tax office audit; renewals for workers’ compensation and district insurance for 2025–26; the Quadient postage machine lease; the 2025–26 food services student meal prices; an agreement with UPMC for athletic training services; and a high‑speed duplicating and cover stock paper bid. Specific dollar amounts and line‑item budget figures were not stated during the public motion and vote.

Board members did not debate the package during the motion; items on the finance agenda had been discussed publicly at earlier meetings, as noted by the board president. The board’s approval enables the administration to proceed with contracts and operational plans tied to the adopted budget.
