Mt. Lebanon Schools Set Budget Forum, Two Key Votes | The Locally Times
The school district has scheduled an April 6 public forum and two board votes for its 2026-2027 budget, while the timeline for the separate municipal budget remains unannounced.
The Mt. Lebanon School District has published a public timeline for the review and adoption of its 2026-2027 budget, providing residents with key dates for review and input. According to records on the district’s website, the process began with a board review on March 16, 2026. The release provides a formal schedule for one of two major local budgets, while, as The Locally Times previously reported, no public documents outline a timeline for the separate Mt. Lebanon municipal budget. ## School District Sets Forum, Two Key Votes The district’s published schedule outlines a multi-stage process for public engagement and legislative approval. ## Budget Details Not Yet Public While the district has publicized procedural dates, the substantive budget documents are not yet available for public review. The source records announcing the meetings do not contain the 2026-2027 Proposed Final Budget itself, nor details on projected revenues, departmental expenditures, or potential property tax millage rate changes. Public records do not specify when the full budget document will be released in advance of the April 6 forum or how public input will be incorporated before the final May 18 vote. ## Municipal Budget Timeline Still Unavailable In contrast to the school district’s announced schedule, public records still do not contain a corresponding timeline for the Mt. Lebanon municipal budget. There is no publicly posted schedule detailing the municipal commission’s review process, opportunities for public comment, or dates for votes. This separate budget, which covers services such as public works, police, fire, and recreation, remains on an unannounced schedule.
