School districts are crafting budgets for the 2023-2024 school year. Much of the timeline centers around Act 1, a 2006 state law that sets a maximum tax increase for each school district each year. Districts can exceed their caps by asking voters to allow it in a referendum, or by requesting a referendum exception from the Department of Education.
Here are some of the key upcoming deadlines of the school budgeting process:
May 31 – School district deadline to adopt a proposed version of the final budget.
June 10 – School district deadline to make proposed final budget available for public inspection.
June 30 – School district deadline to adopt the 2023-2024 final budget.
