The Minersville Area School District has not raised taxes in eight years and the board is still reviewing ways to balance the budget, but according to Superintendent Carl McBreen, taxes are likely to increase in the District.
McBreen did not elaborate much except to say, “In the future, there may be cuts academically, athletically and aesthetically.” The current school budget for this school year is over $16 million.
The board voted unanimously May 25 during its monthly meeting for the proposed tentative budget of $17,980,686.
The board also voted 7-2 to increase the occupational privilege tax from $180 to $186.
