The Beaver Area School District Board of School Directors on May 18 approved a Proposed Final Budget for the 2026–2027 fiscal year totaling $47,217,323 and authorized the administration to advertise the budget for public inspection as required by law. The motion was made by Merilu Hill and seconded by Karin Pilarski and passed unanimously.
The board also recorded the tax-related parameters associated with the proposed budget: a real-estate millage of 12.99 mills; per-capita tax $5.00; Act 511 $5.00; local service tax $5.00; earned income tax 0.50%; and real-estate transfer tax 0.50%. Those figures were presented to the board as the budget was authorized for public review.
Board members who voted in favor were Aaron Bovalino, Merilu Hill, Karin Pilarski, Robin Thompson, Denise Yates, Victoria Bartholomew, Michael Litchfield and Steven Neeley. The vote authorized the administration to publish the Proposed Final Budget and make it available for the statutorily required public inspection period; it did not constitute final budget adoption.
Why it matters: the Proposed Final Budget frames spending and tax expectations for the coming school year and begins the statutory public-review process. Next steps are public inspection and any hearings or required final actions before adoption.
