The District conducted two district-wide feasibility studies to review building conditions, educational goals, and enrollment capacities. Through those studies, we identified several conditions that directly impact our ability to inspire a BOLD future for ALL students. For a summary of efforts to date regarding our plans to construct a new intermediate school, renovate the high school, and address capital projects district-wide, please view the June Newsletter linked above.
At the Board of Directors' meeting on May 28, the Board approved a General Fund Budget for the 2024-2025 school year. The Budget includes allocations for planned expenditures of $73,416,386. In addition to supporting general operating expenses and quality education programs, the budget supports our plans to renovate the high school and construct a new intermediate school for our students in grades 3-5.
Balancing the budget is complex and challenging. However, with the Board’s guidance, the administration was able to prioritize needs, effectively allocate existing resources, and continue efforts to implement strategies that improve efficiency and reduce costs. Ultimately, to balance the 2024-2025 General Fund Budget, the Board raised the millage rate from 25.6858 in 2023-2024 to 26.5848, resulting in a 3.50% tax increase for 2024-2025. The average York Suburban taxpayer's real estate bill will go up roughly $114 next year.
The Tax Impact Calculator has been updated to help residents better understand the impact of our planned construction and renovation projects on their Real Estate Tax bill. It is important to note that for 2025-2026 and later, the estimated increases shown on the calculator are based only on the cost of district projects. Additional funding for operational costs is still to be determined.
PLEASE NOTE: This calculator is a tool for tax estimation only. This result should not be considered a final tax figure and is intended only as an approximation.
A Renovations & Construction FAQ was developed to answer commonly asked questions about the District’s planned projects. The FAQ is divided into sections on Academics, Finances, School and Classroom Structure, Staffing, Transportation, and Miscellaneous. As we receive additional questions, this document will be updated to include relevant information.
