Votes at a glance: Harrisburg board adopts 2026-27 budget, tax structure and other measures
Summary
The board adopted the 2026–27 general fund budget and tax structure, approved a legal representation agreement and exonerated two redevelopment authority property tax accounts; votes were taken by roll call and recorded as unanimous where noted.
At its June 30 special meeting, the Harrisburg City School Board approved several administrative items by roll-call vote, including the district—s 2026–27 general fund budget and the accompanying tax structure.
Budget and tax structure: The board adopted the FY 2026–27 general fund budget and approved the 2026–27 tax structure; both actions passed on unanimous roll-call votes (recorded as 6-0-0). The district will publish the adopted budget and post tax-rate documentation as required.
Legal representation: The administration recommended approval of a social media lawsuit representation agreement; the board approved the agreement unanimously and instructed the legal office to execute the agreement and post a summary.
Property tax exoneration: The board approved exonerating past-due real estate taxes for two Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority properties (57 N. 13th St. and 1613 Chestnut St., parcel numbers cited). Administration described the action as a records cleanup after title changes and said the district will solicit voluntary donations from tax-exempt property owners. The exoneration was approved by roll-call vote.
These items were presented as routine administrative actions and carried with little extended debate compared with the meeting—s school-closure and compensation discussions. Administration is responsible for next steps including public posting, contract execution and outreach to exempt property owners.
