Conestoga Valley board approves $93.1 million budget, 2.5% millage increase
Summary
The Conestoga Valley Board approved the district's final 2024 budget resolution, setting total expenditures at $93,095,517 and adopting a 2.5% millage increase that raises the district rate to 15.76 mills, an estimated $82 annual impact for the average homeowner.
The Conestoga Valley Board of School Directors voted June 17 to adopt the district's final 2024 budget resolution and the accompanying tax-levy resolution. The corrected total expenditures in the approved resolution are $93,095,517, and the board approved a 2.5% increase in the millage rate to 15.76, which the board estimated would cost a typical homeowner about $82 annually.
Board members discussed the corrected numbers during the meeting and confirmed the revisions to the final budget document that had been attached to the agenda. After discussion, motions to approve the district budget and the tax-levy resolution were made and carried on roll-call votes.
The board also approved associated housekeeping items connected to the budget process, including committing assigned fund balance and suspending the per-capita resolution where required by the packet. Several parts of the budget required separate roll-call votes under the agenda order; the board handled those sequentially as the superintendent and staff presented the corresponding documents.
Board members thanked staff for their work during a lengthy budget process and noted that no substantive changes had been made to the numbers since the prior work session. The board's adoption of the budget and levy completes the district's formal fiscal actions for the year; staff will proceed with any administrative steps necessary for implementation.
The board moved on to other business and later recessed to an executive session on legal and personnel matters.
