Board adopts budget option A, approves 7.1 millage after narrow vote
Summary
The Allegheny‑Clarion Valley board voted to adopt Budget A and increase millage to 7.1 after debating three budget scenarios and the impact of cyber‑school costs; the motion passed 7‑2.
After a review of three budget scenarios and discussion about revenue, cyber‑school costs and the county rebalancing formula, the board voted to adopt Budget A, which reflects a 7.1 millage rate. The chair called for the vote on the motion to increase millage; the motion passed with seven yes votes and two no votes.
Trustees discussed the district’s fund balance, the influence of cyber‑school expenditures on tuition reimbursements and uncertainty in Harrisburg about the state budget and proposed cyber‑school reform. Board members asked staff to provide per‑household impact figures and to continue monitoring state budget developments that could affect district revenues.
The board recorded that adoption of this option would yield the revenue and expenditure figures presented in the packet; staff will proceed with the administration tasks needed to implement the adopted millage and associated budget.
