Final 2016-2017 Budget Adopted
During the June 28 regular meeting of the Board of School Directors, the Board approved the General Fund Budget of the Methacton School District for the 2016-2017 fiscal year in the amount of $104,544,052 requiring a millage of 28.74 and an increase in property tax of 3.0%. This 3.0% tax increase translates to an increase of $151.84 for a home assessed at the district average of $180,767.
"While we are faced with the challenge of balancing our budget each year under the Act 1 state process, it took a great deal of work among my administration, my Board and I to arrive with a budget that keeps our instructional programs and services in place while minimizing the costs to our taxpayers," Dr. Zerbe noted.
"I am thankful that our community supports great schools for our children. While a tax increase is never an easy decision, it is however, appropriate at this time as we remain focused on the future of the district and the education of our children," he added.
