Property owners in the Chartiers Valley School District will not see an increase in taxes for the 2026-27 school year, according to the district's proposed budget. The proposed budget totals $81 million and maintains a millage rate of 20.1909. Under this rate, a property owner with a home assessed at $100,000 will pay $2,019 annually.

To balance the budget without raising taxes, the district plans to use approximately $2.29 million from its debt stabilization fund. According to community.triblive.com, original projections indicated that a nearly 10% tax increase would have been necessary to maintain status quo operations. The proposed budget is approximately $2.02 million more than the previous year's budget, and the district maintains an unassigned fund balance equal to about 6% of budgeted expenditures.

The proposed budget includes hiring teachers for fourth grade, English Language Learners, technology and innovation for third through fifth grades, and a science specialty teacher for kindergarten through second grade. It also includes the addition of a director of sponsorships, alumni engagement and annual giving. According to triblive.com, the budget provides more STEM robotics opportunities, continues math and literacy initiatives, bolsters academic, behavioral and social-emotional supports for students, and increases the focus on artificial intelligence literacy and technology integration. There are no major program cuts in the proposed budget.
