The North Allegheny School District has proposed using a blend of federal stimulus money, cuts and delayed spending to erase a $6.7 million hole in the proposed 2021-22 budget without the need to hike property taxes.
Roger Sechler, the district’s director of business operations, said the plan to keep the property tax at the current rate while plugging the budget hole would be done by:
• Using a $1.9 million one-time federal stimulus payment.
• Utilizing $2.6 million earmarked for capital projects, technology and substitute teachers.
