The school board approved the preliminary budget of $73,563,244, which calls for a 1.19-mill tax hike. School officials have said the budget was formulated strictly to meet the deadline imposed by state Act 1 and is not necessarily the preliminary budget it will adopt.
A more accurate version of the district's preliminary budget will be presented in March and adopted in April. Final budget adoption will be in May.

The Preliminary Budget by definition is meaningless - other than it kicks off the annual school budget season. The school budget is something that requires closer examination and discussion by all. Last year the administration forecast 2009-2010 total expenditures at $78.6 million, a 55% increase in 10 years from the 1999-2000 actual spend of $50.6 million. Through the 2006-2007 year we were are already up 42% (since 2000) in noncapital expenditures.
