Monday night, the Marion Center School board passed its Act 1 resolution concerning property taxes for the next fiscal year.
By passing the resolution, the district will not raise taxes above the Pennsylvania department of education mandated limit which is 5.9%. While the goal is not to increase taxes at all, the average property owner would a tax increase of over $90 if the district went to the limit. District business manager Richard Martini said that the limits at a higher level than normal. And prior years the limit had been around 1 to 2%. He talks about why he thinks that has now increased dramatically.
In other business, the district approved purchasing a 2023 Ford F-250 truck with a plow from TriStar in Blairsville at a cost of $57,508.
