This on top of the approximately $1.5 million the district lost over the last six years due to anti development measures passed in Harrisburg in 2004.
What will Octorara do to make up the shortfall?
Staff cuts, program reductions, fee increases and yes, property tax increases.
There are simply no other options.

Significant property tax increases may not be necessary if appropriate cuts and reductions are made. We all know there is huge waste in the school system. We simply cannot expect year after year for an increased budget.
Where are these "huge waste in the school system."
