School Board Approves 2011-2012 Budget

On June 13, 2011 the School Board approved the 2011-2012 School District final budget in the amount of $109,098,908. This budget amount is comprised of $107,186,418 in anticipated spending needed for operations and $1,912,500 for contingencies. Budgeting an amount for contingencies allows the School District to respond to unexpected operational needs without reopening the budget.  The 2011-2012 budget includes a property tax increase of 3.77%, or .6774 mills, which will produce $3.22 million in revenue. This tax rate increase translates into an average annual increase of about $171 on an average T/E home assessed at $252,601. Click for the full press release.

School Board Accepts Proposal for Pay Increase Waiver from Non-Instructional Collective Bargaining Unit, Approves 2011 Graduates and Two Legislative Resolutions at June 1, 2011 Meeting
At a special meeting on June 1, 2011, the T/E School Board accepted a proposal from the Tredyffrin/Easttown Non-Instructional Group (TENIG) to waive pay increases for its members for the 2011-2012 school year, which will result in a savings of $300,000. The proposal included a provision in which the District agreed not to subcontract or outsource custodial positions for the 2011-2012 school year; however, the provision will not prevent the District from subcontracting or outsourcing custodial positions in future years should the need arise. Details regarding the proposal are included in the June 1, 2011 Special School Board meeting agenda which is available on the T/E School District web site.
