Springfield Township board adopts $75.8 million budget with 4% tax increase
Summary
The Springfield Township School District board approved the final 2025–26 budget totaling $75,789,360, accepting a 4% tax increase that raises the rate to 40.6564 mills; the motion passed in a voice vote.
The Springfield Township School District Board of School Directors approved the final budget for the 2025–26 school year on June 3, adopting an expenditure plan of $75,789,360 and a tax rate of 40.6564 mills, an increase of 1.5637 mils (4%) over the current rate.
Superintendent Dr. Mary Jo Yenneko told the board the finance agenda was “meaty,” and noted the district used the Act 1 index to levy revenue needed to continue current services and programs. "We have the budget resolution for the 2025–26 school year, which includes, as you know, a 4% tax assessment for the community," she said.
Board members voted by voice; the motion passed after the board president called for the question. "I will say, excellent work, Miss Green, for you and your team pull pulling together a comprehensive budget," a board member said during deliberations.
Why it matters: the adopted tax rate funds the district's operating budget for classrooms, services and planned programs next year. The administration framed the increase as necessary to meet rising costs while maintaining programs and staffing.
Supporting details: the administration referenced the Act 1 index as the basis for the tax levy and presented the budget as a balanced spending plan for the coming school year. No roll-call vote or numerical tally was read into the record; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
What's next: the budget takes effect for the 2025–26 fiscal year and will be implemented by district administration as presented.
