This final budget is a decrease from the originally proposed $84 million budget.
The Rose Tree Media School Board unanimously approved the 2013-2014 general fund budget at its Thursday meeting. The $82,481,722 budget is a decrease from the original $84,335,989 budget that was proposed in April. The final budget will bring a tax increase of 1.5 percent for a millage rate of 22.9445, according the district agenda. A 1.5 percent increase equates to an annual increase of $68 for the average home assessment of $205,000. This means approximately a $4,600 school tax bill for the year. April's proposed budget would have brought a 1.7 percent increase, the maximum that school taxes would be able to be raised this year. In January, the board voted to not exceed the Act 1, 1.7 percent index and not file for exceptions. "I think …

Here at Patch, we like to be thrifty, so we talked to two barbecue experts and uncovered some really good ideas to help you save money on your next outdoor party. 1. Start with a marinade. This means planning ahead—say, Friday. But it’s worth it, says Rick Browne, host of Barbecue America on PBS, because you can pass up that well-marbled rib eye steak and buy a less tender and less expensive choice to grill like a flank steak or chuck steak.
