| | School Board Discusses State of Budget and PSERS Funding Crisis at Budget Workshop The Tredyffrin/Easttown School Board held a community Budget Workshop on March 19, 2012 at Conestoga High School. The workshop updated the community on the 2012-2013 school budget with an emphasis on the Pennsylvania School Employee Retirement System (PSERS) funding crisis. The Budget Workshop is currently airing on T/E TV, Comcast Channel 14 and Verizon Channel 20 at 5:00 pm daily. Following opening remarks from School Board President Karen Cruickshank, District Business Manager Art McDonnell presented the impacts on the 2012-2013 school budget including continued revenue erosion; mandated special education costs and increased PSERS employer contribution rates. Continuing on the topic of PSERS, Dr. David Davare from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association and Jay Himes from the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials presented data on PSERS state and local funding. In his presentation on PSERS funding, Mr. Himes outlined the possible consequences of the projected PSERS expense increases and the impact on Pennsylvania school districts. These consequences include more program and personnel cuts, more distressed school districts and fewer school districts as a result of consolidations and mergers. Senator Andy Dinniman and Representatives Warren Kampf and Duane Milne attended the Workshop and provided a legislative perspective on PSERS as well. Lastly, Mr. McDonnell reviewed T/E School District five-year budget projections that include the projected PSERS increases. Click here for the full press release.
