The Williamsport Area School Board gave their approval to a proposed final budget for 2021-22 with a .53 mill increase in real estate taxes, although Wanda M. Erb, board secretary and business administrator, told the board that before the final budget is approved in June, that number should be lower.
“We will continue to work on this budget between now and June 15,” Erb said. Final budget approval must be by June 30.
Revenues in the proposed budget are expected to be $96,353,427 including using $1,992,067 in fund balance monies in order to balance the budget. Next year’s budget is a 3.24 percent increase over the budget for the current fiscal year.

Researchers worldwide are celebrating the discovery of the fossil of an adult oviraptorosaur brooding over a nest of eggs containing unhatched babies. The unprecedented discovery confirms scientists suspicions that the two-legged bird-like dinosaurs were doting parents, which not only incubated their eggs, but also guarded them at times putting their own lives at risk. Dinosaurs preserved on their nests are rare, and so are fossil embryos. This is the first time a non-avian dinosaur has been found, sitting on a nest of eggs that preserve embryos, in a single spectacular specimen, says study co-leader Shundong Bi, a paleontologist at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
