Unionville Chadds Ford School Board directors started talks on the 2023-2024 budget this week. A proposed preliminary budget — with an estimated appropriation of $102.35 million and revenues of $100.5 million — was passed. The vote was 9-0.
The estimated appropriation reflects an increase of 7.28 percent over that of the 2022-’23 budget. The proposed preliminary millage rates for Chester and Delaware Counties are 32.34 mills and 16.93 mills, respectively. They represent increases of 5.41 percent for Chester County and 6.14 percent for Delaware County. That’s a weighted average increase of 5.56 percent. (A mil is a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value.)
Adoption of the preliminary budget is planned for sometime before Feb. 15, but the final budget and levying of real estate taxes are expected to be voted on June 19.
