School Board Resolves Not to Raise Taxes Above State Limit

Detailed budgets for the 2013-14 school year are being worked on now.

The Upper St. Clair School Board unanimously adopted Monday night a resolution not to go above the Act 1 tax index for the 2013-14 school year.

The Act 1 index for the next budget is .437 mills—or an increase of 1.7 percent.

The adopted resolution means the board will not request for any tax exemptions from the state this year.
