The Radnor School Board approved a $124.99 million budget with a 3.85% tax increase for the 2025-2026 school year. The budget raises the property tax rate from 15.2109 mills to 15.8 mills. Brian Pawling, the district’s business administrator, said some of the savings came from the elimination of two of the 10 contingency positions normally budgeted for. A property with the median assessed value of $730,613 had a tax bill of $11,113 in the current school year’s budget, which will increase by $400 to $11,513 next year. Some residents expressed dismay at cuts to arts offerings, but district officials said no arts programs are being cut, though some elective offerings are being altered based on student enrollment.
