The Pajama Game is a romantic comedy by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where worker demands for a seven-and-a-half cents raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent. The Pajama Game features memorable songs such as "Hey There," "Steam Heat," and "Hernando's Hideaway."

Elementary and Middle Schools Will Use
Buzz-In Entry System Beginning Monday, February 4, 2013

 

As part of the T/E School District's commitment to school safety, new security enhancements will go into effect on Monday, February 4th, 2013.  Beginning Monday, all doors at District elementary and middle schools will be locked from the outside during school hours. Each school is equipped with a buzz-in station at the main entrance which includes an intercom and a security camera.  Parents and visitors will be required to push an intercom button, state their name and the purpose of their visit in order to enter the school.  In addition, visitors will be asked to show photo identification, sign in and wear a visitor badge while in the school.  

 

A buzz-in station is also being installed at Conestoga High School and we anticipate that it will be operational soon.  High school parents will receive a phone message informing them of the date that the buzz-in system will become operational at Conestoga

 

For additional information on the new buzz-in stations, please visit the T/E School District web site.  Thank you for your cooperation as we work to enhance safety and security in all of our schools. 

School Board Votes to Keep Tax Increase at or Below 1.7% for 2013-2014 

At the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the Board unanimously rejected a recommendation to apply for Act 1 referendum exceptions for pension and special education costs at its regular meeting on January 28, 2013. Following Board discussion and an opportunity for public comment, the Board unanimously approved a resolution to keep the 2013-2014 tax rate at or below the Act 1 index of 1.7%. This action returns the District to the original budget timeline. A preliminary budget will be approved at the May 13, 2013 regular Board meeting. The Board will continue to refine the budget throughout the budget development process until final 2013-14 budget adoption on June 17, 2013. The Board will provide further details on the 2013-2014 budget during its Budget Workshop I on March 4, 2013 at 7:30 pm. The budget will also be discussed at the upcoming Finance Committee meeting on February 11, 2013 at 7:00 pm. Both meetings will be held in the Tredyffrin/Easttown Administration Offices.

 

The T/E School Board encourages public participation during the budget development process so that the budget reflects the input of joint stakeholders. All School Board committee meetings are open to the public and have public comment periods. In addition, public comments may be submitted to Arthur J. McDonnell, Business Manager, at mcdonnella@tesd.net or to the T/E School Board at schoolboard@tesd.net.
