Act 1 Index Program Priorities Financial Priorities Financial Snapshot Timeline / Next Steps
Act 1 Index • 2019-20 Base Index = 2.30% • NASD Adjusted Index = 2.80% • Historically, with “Act 1 Exceptions”, NASD could have levied taxes beyond Adjusted Index For 2019-20, we do not expect to qualify for Exceptions so our tax increase limited at 2.80%
Act 1 Index There are only 4 exceptions remaining; 7 were eliminated by Act 25 of 2011 • 2 are for debt; grandfathered / electoral – NASD debt does not qualify • 1 is for PSERS increases that exceed the Index • PSERS Employer Rate jumping from 33.43% to 34.29% • 2.60% increase – which is less than our index of 2.80% • As a result, we do not qualify for an exception for 2019-20 • 1 is for Special Education increases that exceed the Index • Eligible NASD Special Ed expenses from 2016-17 to 2017-18 increased by 0.53% – which is less than our Index of 2.80%. • As a result, we do not qualify for an exception for 2019-20
