When: Columbia Borough school board committee meeting, Aug. 6.
What happened: The district will receive $1.1 million more in state funding than it budgeted for in June, Keith Ramsey, business manager, shared with the board.
Background: The Columbia Borough school board passed its 2024-25 budget June 20, while Gov. Josh Shapiro didn’t sign the state budget into law until July 11. Therefore, when Columbia passed its budget, it didn’t have all state funding information available.
Now: Now that the district has received information about its state subsidies, Ramsey shared the district will receive $11.1 million in basic education funding and almost $2 million in special education funding. Columbia Borough will also receive $140,905 as reimbursement for borough students enrolled in cybercharter schools. In addition, the district will receive a $1.1 million Ready to Learn Block Grant, which is $800,000 more than it budgeted for.
