PLAINS TWP. — The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board approved a 2024-25 budget on Monday that not only avoids any tax increase but, if an innovative plan works, will result in a tax decrease for homeowners. Superintendent Brian Costello said the budget anticipates revenue of $172 million, but spending will be about $433,480 less. The district aims to use that money with the state funds to reduce property taxes through the Homestead Exemption.
