A report in the Altoona Mirror indicates that the board passed the $29 million spending plan, with both a $1.1 million deficit and a 5.7% property tax increase. Because the district encompasses three different counties, tax rates will vary in size. Blair County residents will see a .3 mill increase. Centre County residents will see a .9 mill increase. And for Huntingdon County residents, they will see an increase of 3.3 mills. No other details were released from the meeting.
