Notice of Act 1 Referendum Exception

Pursuant to Act 1, the Pennsylvania Department of Education publishes a tax rate applicable to all Pennsylvania school districts. The Albert Gallatin Area School District real estate tax increase for the 2012-13 fiscal year is limited to 2.6% of the current year’s millage rate, unless the proposed tax rate is approved by voters pursuant to a referendum or the School District qualifies for an Act 1 exception. It appears the School District will qualify for Act 1 exceptions for costs incurred in providing special education programs and services to students with disabilities, and payments incurred as a result of increases in state mandated contributions to the Public School Employees’ Retirement System. A tax increase may be required to meet these special circumstances.

Therefore, the School District intends to seek approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education as required by Act 1 for an exception allowing it to increase the real estate tax as reflected in the School District’s Preliminary Budget.  The Preliminary Budget is available for public inspection at the School District’s Administrative Offices, 2625 Morgantown Road, Uniontown, PA 15401-6703.  On written request by any School District resident or taxpayer, the School District will provide a copy of the referendum exception application.
