The Allegheny Valley School Board has approved a $22.9 million proposed budget for next school year that does not include a property tax increase.
The board voted 6-3 in favor of the preliminary spending plan. It will vote next month on adoption of a final budget.
“With this budget, there was a lot of discussion about having a tax increase,” school board President Larry Pollick said. “But the majority of this board and administration didn’t feel this was an appropriate time to put a tax increase on our residents.
Allegheny Valley School Board voted unanimously this week to have students return to hybrid instruction starting Tuesday.
Under the plan, students in grades K-12 will be divided into two groups with one group attending in-person classes on Mondays and Thursdays and a second group attending in-person on Tuesdays and Fridays. Wednesdays will be a remote learning day for all students. Teachers will be in the classrooms full-time.
It’s the same hybrid approach the district had used from Sept. 21 to Dec. 1. All students have been attending classes virtually for the past six weeks.
Allegheny Valley School District Superintendent Patrick Graczyk said he supports the move.
