2012-13 Budget 2012-2013 Budget Development

 
Property owners in Derry Township School District are taxed at a real estate millage rate below the Dauphin County average – in large part because the school district has frozen taxes twice in the last three years# Conservative projections however, show that maintaining the current millage rate in 2012-13 would produce a $13 million deficit by 2017-18, requiring substantial operational changes that would directly impact students in the classroom#
 
At its April 23 business meeting, the Board of School Directors approved a proposed final budget that sets a real estate millage rate of 17#5361 mills#  This budget will be voted on in its final form June 11, 2012#
