Manager warns residents: North Penn School District coupon payments must start by July 31
Summary
The borough manager told residents that North Penn School District changed its coupon schedule to five payments and those using coupons must make the first payment by July 31 or forfeit coupon payments; the borough cannot waive the district's rules.
The borough manager told residents to expect North Penn School District tax bills and highlighted an important change for taxpayers who use coupon payments. Under the district's rule this year, coupon users must make their first coupon payment by Friday, July 31; if a taxpayer does not start the coupons in July, they forfeit the coupon option and the borough cannot waive the district's requirement.
The manager explained the district reduced coupons from six to five installments and that taxpayers who previously combined late coupons will no longer have that flexibility. The borough posted the district notice online and staff said they would explore additional outreach (email blasts or other notifications) to help residents meet the deadline.
Council members asked whether an email blast could be sent; staff said they would look into communication options but emphasized the borough has no authority to change the school district's coupon rules.
