Board of School Directors - Special Meeting to be held July 15

Notice of Act 1 Referendum Exception/Intent to Adopt Preliminary Budget
Pursuant to Act 1, the Brandywine Heights Area School District real estate tax increase for 2007-08 is limited to the 4.4% index as published by the Pa. Dept. of Education unless the proposed tax rate is approved by voters pursuant to a referendum or the School District qualifies for an Act 1 exception. The preliminary budget reports that a 1.5% tax rate increase above the index is required therefore the District will seek approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for a referendum exception.

Board action on the Preliminary Budget will be taken at the regular meeting scheduled on Monday February 5, 2007 at 7:00 PM in the Middle School Auditorium, 200 West Weis St., Topton, Pa. The Preliminary Budget is available for public inspection at the School District Business Office. Copies of the proposed budget and referendum exception application may be obtained by contacting Steven Fischer, Business Manager 610-682-5141.
