New Kensington-Arnold School District’s financial picture for the coming school year looks “bleak,” with officials considering raising taxes and burning through the district’s reserves but still facing a deficit, according to Acting Superintendent Jon Banko.
“We’ve been about as fiscally responsible as we possibly could be,” Banko said. “We closed two schools, we’ve reduced our faculty, we’ve done a lot of things to keep the budget under control.”
Property owners in New Kensington-Arnold could see their school property taxes go up nearly 7% for next school year.

New Kensington-Arnold School District students will return to school buildings Jan. 14, but the district will use a hybrid instruction model and break students into two groups.
The district started the school year with students either fully in schools or fully online.
“We’ve had a hybrid model as part of our instructional options all along, but always felt that providing the maximum amount of face-to-face instruction is best,” acting Superintendent Jon Banko said.
“There are still a lot of concerns surrounding operations during the pandemic, and, as an administrative team, we felt that we would best be able to manage safety concerns with fewer students. We know that we need to get kids into classrooms, in front of their teachers and around their peers, and we felt that this is the best option for considering all circumstances.”
