BASD approves tentative tax hike

The Bedford Area School District’s school board approved a tentative real estate tax increase as part of its 2021-22 school year budget. The board voted 7-2 in favor of raising the millage rate 3.8% from 9.842 to 10.215 mills as part of the $32.1 million spending plan that includes a $1.2 million deficit. The increase was the maximum the district was able to increase taxes. The tax increase generates about $480,000 in additional revenue for the district. “This is essentially what we said we were going to do,” Tom Bullington, board president, said, referencing ongoing discussions the board has had over the past year about the need to increase taxes over a period of years as part of a proposed renovation project the district projects will cost about $43 million.

BASD to update athlete code of conduct

The Bedford Area School District is proposing changes to its high school handbook that would better specify potential discipline regarding student athletes posting “derogatory” comments about their teammates and coaches on social media. The school board at its meeting next week also will vote to update its student handbooks, including changes to its high school handbook regarding the code of conduct for student athletes. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Paul Ruhlman told the board at its meeting Monday night the changes are in response to a Supreme Court case regarding a 14-year-old high school student who in 2017 was suspended from her cheerleading team for a year after she posted an expletive-filled post on Snapchat about the school and the cheerleading squad after being kept on the junior varsity unit.
