Minersville Area SD board approves tentative $25.58M budget, sets 48.79‑mill tax rate
Summary
The Minersville Area School District board approved a tentative $25,576,769 general fund budget for 2025–26, set the real estate tax rate at 48.79 mills and adopted a homestead‑farmstead exclusion that will reduce tax bills by an estimated $276.40 per eligible parcel.
The Minersville Area Board of Education on May 27 approved a tentative 2025–26 General Fund Budget of $25,576,769 and directed that it be advertised and posted for public inspection 30 days before final adoption.
At the same meeting the board set the 2025–26 real estate tax rate at 48.79 mills. The board also adopted a homestead‑farmstead exclusion effective July 1, 2025, with a fiscal exclusion amount of $276.40. District materials state there are 2,254 eligible property owners and that $620,508.65 in tax reduction funds will be applied from Pennsylvania gambling revenue (described in the minutes as the "Sterling Act").
The tentative budget was approved on roll call and will return for final adoption after the required public posting period. The action follows routine budget and tax‑setting motions historically handled at the district's May meeting. The board also approved the tentative Athletic Account budget for 2025–26 at $206,740, down from $218,315 in 2024–25.
Next steps: the budget will be advertised and available for public inspection prior to the board's final vote. The district did not provide line‑item details in the minutes; the advertised documents are expected to include full revenue and expenditure schedules.
