School Board Adopts 25-26 Proposed Final Budget
At its April 28, 2025 regular meeting, the T/E School Board adopted the 2025-26 Proposed Final Budget of $196.4 million, which is proposed to be funded with projected revenue of $190.3 million and a $6.1 million commitment of reserves.
In February, the District filed for and was approved for a referendum exception for special education expenditures in excess of the Act 1 index of 4%. The Board and administration will continue to work on closing the approximate $11.1M budgeted operational deficit through a combination of property tax rate increases, expenditures reductions, and existing reserves. The Board will vote on the final property tax rate for the 2025-2026 school year at its June 9, 2025 meeting. The next opportunity for discussion of the budget will be at the upcoming May 12, 2025 School Board Finance Committee Meeting at 7:00 pm at the Tredyffrin/Easttown Administration Offices.
The T/E School Board encourages public participation during the budget development process and endeavors to reflect the input of all stakeholders. All School Board committee meetings are open to the public and have public comment periods. Meeting dates and agendas are available on the T/E School District website. In addition, public comments may be submitted to Arthur J. McDonnell, Business Manager, or to the T/E School Board.
