BIRDSBORO — For the first time in the recent history of the Daniel Boone School District, the following year’s budget is balanced in December.
District administration achieved that zero deficit with the maximum tax increase allowed with the use of two exceptions through Act 1 of 2006, eliminating kindergarten and all student activities including sports and band, and furloughing 40 professional staff.
The board hasn’t approved the budget, though, nor any of those revenue and expenditure measures.
Board President Andrew Basile said in a budget meeting last night that it won’t do that until next June unless concessions can be reached through its contractual partners, or unless there would be additional state revenue.
