With real estate taxes expected to rise to cover a proposed $113.3 million high school renovation and increased pension responsibilities, Mt. Lebanon administrators and school board members discussed this week how to cut costs for the 2010-11 budget year and beyond.

The most recent draft of the proposed $79.6 million budget calls for a 10.38 percent increase in the real estate tax, from 24.11 mills in the 2009-2010 budget to 26.72 mills in the proposed 2010/2011 budget.

The 15% increase in Real Estate Tax revenues is actually HIGHER than Kubit's Act 34 FAQ refuted.
See the School District document presented at the special budget meeting:

75% of those who wrote emails to the board opposed to the high school’s cost mirrors last year’s Republican Committee Survey
Thank you, James, for doing your homework
