The Claysburg-Kimmel School Board approved a 5.1% property tax increase, reaching the maximum Act 1 Index, to address a projected $1.4 million deficit for the 2026-27 school year. The 7-2 vote will raise $191,506, with officials planning to cover the remaining shortfall through fund balance usage and grants, while proposing to add a new secondary math teacher. The proposed budget will be on display for 30 days and is available on the district website. The board is expected to adopt a final budget during their June 10th meeting.
