PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Public Schools leaders are thinking about raising taxes next year.
A proposed 2026 budget presented at a finance meeting tonight included a possible tax hike.
The proposal also accounts for the district’s plan to permanently close nine buildings.
Leaders said they are expecting a $12.2 million deficit next year.
That’s down from the district’s $25 million loss from this year.
A vote on the budget is expected in December.
