Budget Buzz

MJM says in his weekly rant:

"The “new” Board is an obvious change that you can believe in.  June 30th will tell the tale when a final budget is adopted."

Our sources tell us that EHS is going to have 34 teachers approved to staff the building.  That is more teachers that Kittanning Junior High School, which has more students than EHS will have.  Also, sources tell us that the budget for 2010-2011 is slated to increase 3.2 million next year and the cost to reopen EHS is 3.6 million. Very interesting.

Right now, our sources are pretty good, but we want to show you proof.  Once we have our Right To Know information, we will publish it for all to see.

Stitt and Solak have a problem with cost allocation

Board Directors Stitt and Solak have a problem with Close's request that the $94,000 spent on the architect and future costs be put towards the total of reopening Elderton. Would this be because of the lawsuit holding them and the four others that voted to reopen this school financially responsible for all costs involved with the reopening of Elderton?
