City of Pittsburgh residents won’t see an increase in property taxes next year due to Pittsburgh Public Schools. The school board narrowly approved its nearly $680-million-dollar budget in a five-to-four vote. Two board members who voted against the budget said they didn’t support it because it carries a $9 million deficit.
Pittsburgh Public Schools students and staff will only be mandated to wear masks in buildings when the county is at a high level of COVID-19, following CDC guidelines. Some board members questioned the move saying they were only informed the day before and the public didn’t have a chance to comment.
