The 2012-2013 Allegheny Valley School District budget calls for budgetary expenditures of $19,321,162.  Approved at the June 18, 2012 Regular Meeting, the budget includes a decrease in expenditures from the 2011-2012 budget of a projected $19,832 or 0.10 percent.  This figure equals no increase in millage rates for residents.  The millage rate will remain at 23.46.

The 2012-2013 General Fund reflects:

Revenues:

• The major revenue driver for the District is the Real Estate Tax Assessments, which accounts for 66% of total revenues.
• The other two major revenues (State and Federal subsidies) reflect no increase for the District.

Expenditures:

• The 2012-13 General Fund Expenditure Budget total is $19,321,162. This total is a decrease from the prior year of $19,832 or  0.10%.
• The instructional budget represents 50% of all costs to the District.
• Decreases can be attributed to the re-alignment of some student programs, not filling vacant staff positions, elimination of some contracted services, and the implementation of some cost-containment strategies such as energy conservation.
• Overall cuts to the Budget were completed with the thought of maintaining the majority of services. The submitted budgets from the administrators were either the amount allocated by the Board in prior years or a revised amount due to change of circumstances in the District.   The administration was asked to determine the best ways to decrease costs.  These reductions were recommended to the Superintendent and Business Manager then to the School Board for approval.

- Pennsylvania State Budget Adoption
- Debt Service Changes
