Summary
The Morrisville Borough School District board adopted the 2025–26 general fund budget of $26,608,811, approved a tax‑rate resolution and carried multiple routine personnel and finance motions, including tuition reimbursements and elections for board officers.
The Morrisville Borough School District board voted to adopt a $26,608,811 general fund budget for 2025–26 and to set the district’s tax rate for the coming fiscal year, along with a package of routine personnel, finance and operational items.
During roll call, the general fund budget was approved by a unanimous recorded vote. The board also approved a tax‑rate resolution that the clerk read into the record; the transcript records a roll‑call approval with one member voting "no." The motion set the tax rate effective July 1, 2025 as stated in the resolution language on the record (the millage figure in the transcript was transcribed ambiguously).
Other actions approved at the meeting included:

- Election of board officers for specified terms: treasurer (effective 07/01/2025–06/30/2026) and secretary (effective 07/01/2025–06/30/2029).
- Approval of the Bucks County Technical High School 2025–26 budget in joint board action; multiple Morrisville representatives recorded "no" votes while the joint board budget action was recorded as carried.
- Ratification of the 2020–21 and 2021–22 financial audit as presented.

The board also approved a homestead and farmstead exclusion resolution (authorized reduction amount recorded on the transcript as $398.61) and a tax installment payment resolution allowing taxpayers to pay in three equal installments with specified due dates.
What happens next: Financial transactions for July and August were authorized to the business manager and will be presented for ratification at the August meeting; the district will proceed under the adopted budget and tax resolution for the 2025–26 fiscal year.
