Pottsgrove Adopts 2026-27 Budget

with 3.29% Property Tax Hike

The Pottsgrove School Board approved a $91 million budget for the 2026-27 school year that includes a 3.29 percent property tax increase. The tax hike is lower than initially projected, thanks in part to $1.55 million in unexpected revenue generated from the sale of the district’s school bus fleet.

Last Chance to Catch Steel River Playhouse’s Hit Production of Freaky Friday

The production has entertained theatergoers with its blend of comedy, music, and heartfelt storytelling, earning praise from local audiences throughout its run.

Featuring a talented cast and a lively adaptation of the beloved Disney story, the musical follows a mother and daughter who unexpectedly switch bodies, leading to a series of humorous and eye-opening experiences that strengthen their understanding of one another.
