Cumberland Valley School District school tax increase

On May 20th Cumberland Valley School District in Cumberland County approved a tentative budget with a 2.9% school tax increase. This tax increase follows a county-wide reassessment last year and a 9.5% school tax increase by the nearby Camp Hill School District in 2010.

Cumberland Valley officials did not comment as to whether this tax increase bears any connection to the statewide lawmaker 2001 pension increase that has been projected to cause large school tax increases throughout Pennsylvania in 2012.
