Blog: State Returns $1.3 Million to T/E School District -- Restore Educational Program Cuts or Add to Fund Balance?
Harrisburg Sends $1.3 million back to T/E School District . . . if you were the school board, what would you do with it? Add to the fund balance or restore some of the educational program cuts?
In reviewing the on-line summaries of the T/E school board committees, I was interested to learn from the Finance Committee summary report that almost $1 million is coming back to the fund balance due to lower than expected medical claims. That’s good news!
Also it was confirmed at the Finance Committee meeting, that the state would be returning $1.3 million in funding back to the Tredyffrin Easttown School District.
With Election Day only a week away, here's a question for school board candidates — if elected, what would you do with the $1.3 million? Would you restore some of the educational programming cuts in the district? If so, which ones? Foreign language in the elementary schools? Maybe Latin in the middle school? Or, would you suggest that the $1.3 million go into the fund balance? If it were up to you . . . what would you do? Add your comments to Community Matters -- your voice does make a difference!
