The $30.6 million spending plan still has a large $1.86 million deficit, but the board voted to approve the budget as it stands today. Spring cove along with all other PA public schools are awaiting the final outcome of the state budget to see how much state funding will be coming their way. The board still has the option of raising property taxes under Act I, which if maxed out, would generate an additional $620,000 in new revenue. The budget can now be viewed until a final vote is taken.
