Regina Scheerer attended tonight’s (May 10) Springfield (Delco) School Board where the final budget was presented.
She says it would increase property taxes 2.7 percent 28.730 mills which would mean the average homeowner would pay $110 more than last year.
Last year’s increase was 2.76% at 27.975 mills.
Say says the new 5-year teacher contract will be a factor, but will not cause an increase above what is proposed.
She says that a public comment on the budget will be taken at a hearing 5:30 p.m., next Thursday at the McLaughlin Center.
The proposed budget can be found at at www.ssdcougars.org, under District, Financial Information, then Budget.
It will also be available at the Township Library.
thanks for sharing your knowledge about spring field school budget
I say only elected politians, especially school board members, should pay property taxes. the rest of us should pay a sales tax.
