Local Property Tax Limitations Vs. School District Employee Pension Costs In Pennsylvania, William T. Hartman, Timothy J. Shrom
Educational Considerations
In Pennsylvania as in many other states, employee pension costs are a significant source of financial pressure for school districts.

The article is divided into three sections.

Property Tax Restrictions On School Board Fiscal Taxing Authority In Pennsylvania, Timothy J. Shrom, William T. Hartman
