Millersburg Area SD adopts Act 1 tax-index resolution; business office reports positive projection
Summary
The board adopted its annual Act 1 resolution agreeing not to exceed the district’s adjusted tax-index (4.7%) and heard a business-office budget update reporting a projected $186,000 favorable variance following state funding receipts.
The Millersburg Area School District board adopted its annual Act 1 resolution at the regular meeting, a standard step that confirms the district will not exceed its adjusted tax-index (this year 4.7%) for any tax increases next year. Mister Petrie of the business office explained that passing the resolution keeps the district on the regular budget timeline and avoids an expedited budget filing.
Mister Petrie also presented the budget performance update, saying recent state payments boosted November revenue and that the district currently projects finishing the year approximately $186,000 to the good; he cautioned that month-to-date reports are less reliable this year because of a prior budget impasse. "Projected to finish a 186,000 to the good is the current projection," he said.
Board members asked clarifying questions about taxes and confirmed the resolution simply establishes a maximum (the index) and does not itself raise taxes. The resolution and the presented financial reports were approved by roll call. The business office will carry the resolution forward into spring budget materials.
The meeting concluded with routine board sharing, notice of an executive session on personnel and property, and the chair’s holiday remarks.
