The 2026-27 Butler Area School District final budget does not include a tax increase or furloughs.
Board members approved the balanced budget of nearly $121 million during their Thursday morning meeting. This represents an increase of about 2.5% over the current year budget.
Local real-estate tax rates will remain at just over 109 mils. Total revenue from the state has not yet been determined so administrators have made conservative estimates about what they believe it will be.
All retiring staff members will be replaced but positions could change based on need.
