The Northumberland County School Board budget has increased every year for the past five years, represents 54% of the entire county budget and is the primary driver of increased real estate taxes.

Every county resident and service is affected; we must remain vigilant and engaged and require our elected officials to do the same. We hope by making budget information easily accessible that more residents like you will become engaged in calling for justified and reasonable County and School Board budgets.

 At the bottom of each page you will find additional links to the county calendar, county officials’ contact information, the Watch Blog, and Charts and Presentations. Fast breaking news, editorials and research/resource information are posted on the blog page. Looking for when the next School Board or Board of Supervisors meeting occurs?
