| | School Board Hosts Community Budget Workshop and Discusses New Budget Balancing Strategies The School Board held a community Budget Workshop on March 28, 2011. The workshop is currently airing on T/E TV, Comcast Channel 14 and Verizon Channel 20 at 9:00 pm daily and at 10:00 am on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. As the School Board continues to seek additional savings to address the projected budget imbalance of approximately $8.9 million, it has become apparent that a spirit of shared sacrifice is needed among all employees and interest groups to close the budget gap. As a result, two new budget balancing strategies were introduced at the Budget Workshop. The Board has already approved a number of cost reduction strategies including the elimination of pay raises for all non-union employees in 2011-2012. The Board joins the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) in calling on T/E's instructional and non-instructional collective bargaining units to accept a one-year pay waiver as their shared sacrifice to support T/E students. A one-year pay waiver would waive contracted raises for the two unions' employees for the 2011-2012 school year and would result in a cost savings of approximately $3,000,000. The Board values the dedicated employees of the T/E school community and invites the T/E union employee groups to join the Board in supporting the PSEA's wage freeze request.

| Changes to School Board Policy 5116, Nonresident Students - Enrollment Eligibility At its March regular meeting, the School Board approved changes to Policy 5116, Nonresident Students - Enrollment Eligibility. The notable changes are as follows: A student who does not reside in the District as of the first student day of the school year but who will reside in the District by October 1 may no longer enroll in a District school by presenting proof of intent to move into a residence located in the District. Even if proof is presented that the nonresident student will establish residency by October 1 of that school year, the student will not be permitted to enroll in a District school as a nonresident student. Any District resident students whose families move from the District after April 1 shall no longer be allowed to continue to be enrolled during that current school year. |
