School Board Budget

The Proposed Final Budget was presented to the school district's board of directors on May 13th, 2009. As reported in the paper the average increase will be $90 a house hold. The thing everyone needs to remember this is the AVERAGE based on a home with an assessed value of $22,000. There are many homes in Bensalem that will fall above, and below, the $90 presented.

To find out more details of the proposed budget, please go to www.bensalemsd.org. I would also like to thank everyone at the distric office for honoring my request to post the budget online. I know it is not easy to get to the district office to view the numbers, especially if you work.
