Update on Budget Strategies from Finance Committee Meeting

On February 13, 2012, the School Board met to discuss proposed strategies to close the 2012-2013 budget gap. One budget strategy discussed was the implementation of sports and activity fees. The Committee has asked the administration to move forward with additional research on these fees as a revenue generating strategy. Sports and activity fees will be discussed again at the March 19, 2012 Budget Workshop.

 

In addition, the Committee presented an offer from the Tredyffrin/Easttown Non-Instruction Group (TENIG.) The offer was the custodial staff would waive their 4.5% contracted pay increase for 2012-2013 and take a 10% reduction in salary. The offer is contingent upon the School Board removing custodial outsourcing as a budget strategy for the remainder of 2012-2013. Click for the full press release.

Success & Sustainability: A Plan for the T/E School District
The School Board has established the Success & Sustainability section of the TESD web site to help community members gain a better understanding of the key economic issues which are influencing both the budget planning process and our negotiations with the Tredyffrin/Easttown Education Association, the association which represents the District's teachers.
 
Recognizing the importance of keeping the T/E school community informed, the School Board has launched a community outreach and engagement initiative. The outreach will include speaking engagements, cable programming, website updates, press releases and other forms of communication. These efforts will enable the community to gain a greater understanding of the educational goals as well as the financial limitations.

 

The community is encouraged to stay informed. The School Board's ultimate goal is the success of our students and the sustainability of our program.
2012-2013 Conestoga High School Program of Studies
