Spring-Ford School District Proposes $203 Million Budget with
Tax Increase for 2024-25
The Spring-Ford School Board has passed a preliminary $203 million budget for the 2024-2025 school year, potentially increasing property taxes by 6.5%. This budget anticipates adjustments and aims to address key financial challenges, including special education costs and state retirement fund contributions. The district is working to minimize the tax increase while negotiating a new teacher contract and maintaining educational programs. Long-term financial planning has allowed for significant projects, such as the Spring City Elementary School renovation, without impacting the upcoming budget. Challenges in aligning with the state budget timeline and unexpected mandates, like the special education eligibility age extension, highlight the complexities of fiscal planning.
Keller Williams Agrees to Landmark
$70 Million Settlement Over
Commission Practices
Keller Williams Realty Inc. has agreed to a $70 million settlement to address lawsuits across the United States over real estate agent commissions. This settlement aims to increase transparency in commission negotiations for buyers and sellers. The lawsuits alleged that major brokerages, including Keller Williams, engaged in practices that resulted in inflated commissions. A Missouri jury had previously found industry practices in violation of antitrust laws, with damages potentially exceeding $5 billion. Keller Williams' settlement includes provisions for clearer communication about commission negotiability and compensation structures, and it removes the requirement for agents to belong to the National Association of Realtors. This move follows similar settlements by other leading real estate brokerages.
