Board approves $27.29 million budget for 2025–26 with no millage increase
Summary
The Bristol Borough School District board adopted a $27,287,520 balanced budget for 2025–26 with no millage increase; the presenter summarized revenue changes, contract and benefit cost adjustments and line‑item pressures.
Committee member (speaker 6) moved and the board approved the proposed 2025–26 budget totaling $27,287,520. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll call vote recorded as 8–0 in favor.
A budget presenter (speaker 9) outlined the main drivers: the budget is balanced with no millage increase for the 13th consecutive year, a 0.40% overall increase from last year, anticipated increases in basic education funding (about $151,000) and adequacy supplement subsidy ($254,000), increases in special education funding and teacher contract costs, and reduced medical benefits costs partly offsetting expenses. He said the district at one point faced an $850,000 shortfall that the budget committee and board addressed through adjustments and revenue items.
Board members thanked staff for work on the budget and confirmed the document will be available ahead of the June 11 meeting if needed for final action. The board noted the schedule remains consistent with statutory posting requirements.
