Springfield School District (Pa) residents will pay an average of $115 more in property taxes next year (2012) all of course without any kind of guarantee that their schools will improve or even simply stay at par.
The millage which went from 26.2910 to 27.223 last year goes to 28.017 this year.
A mill is $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value. This means that the owner of a property assessed at $145,580, which is the district’s median assessed value, will now pay $4,079 in school taxes (28.017 x 145.58).
Regina Scheerer of the Delaware County Patriots attended Thursday’s budget meeting and notes the budget was approved with Donald L. Heller being the only dissenter.
Budget information can be found here at the school district’s website www.ssdcougars.org.
OUCH!
The moments when you are away from home can turn to be scary if you have left your pet alone.
