MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 26, 2023 11:47 AM
From: Senator Michele Brooks
To: All Senate members
Subject: Changing the date school districts must adopt their budget
 

In order to help school districts better budget, I will be introducing legislation to change the date that they adopt their school budget to July 31 .  As school districts often do not yet know how much in state funding they will be receiving by June 30, it makes sense for them to do their budgeting after they know what state funding they will receive.
 
I have looked into this issue in the past, and in light of the Auditor General’s recent audit of twelve Pennsylvania school districts, this is commonsense legislation to better help our school districts while also protecting our taxpayers.  I encourage and thank you for your consideration of cosponsoring this important measure.

Introduced as SB518
