Resident asks Tredyffrin‑Easttown board to consider switching school tax payments from three to four installments

Tredyffrin‑Easttown, Pa. — During public participation at the district’s Dec. 5 meeting, resident Cindy Virgaldi of Tredyffrin Township asked the school board to consider changing the school tax payment schedule from three payments to four.

Virgaldi told the board that several Chester County districts use a four‑payment schedule and that moving to four payments would reduce the tax burden on seniors and low‑income homeowners who own property in the district. "So please consider a 4 payment option," she said.

President Sue Tiede responded that the board would "take a look" at the matter. The comment was part of a brief public‑comment period limited to non‑agenda items; the board did not vote or direct staff to prepare a report during the meeting.

The board’s next regular meetings are scheduled for Jan. 5 and Jan. 26, 2025; the Jan. 5 meeting would be a plausible venue for any staff briefing or formal referral if the board chooses to pursue the request.
