Finance & Operations Committee Meeting: November 2025

The Finance & Operations Committee of the UDSD Board met on June 29, 2026, to discuss the preliminary budget for the 2026-27 school year and the option of adopting an accelerated opt-out resolution related to Act 1 tax index limits. The committee reviewed historical tax increase data and the state's base and adjusted indices, noting the district's past practice of staying near or below the base index. The administration recommended pursuing the accelerated opt-out resolution, which would limit tax increases to the adjusted index of 5.1%, aligning with state funding stipulations tied to adequacy and tax equity grants. The timeline for budget adoption was outlined, with key decisions expected at the December 2 board meeting and final adoption in May 2027. Additionally, the committee reviewed and moved forward policy 810 concerning transportation services, which included provisions for younger students' transportation safety. No public comments were made during the meeting.
