Receiver Joseph Watkins announced Thursday that the district has increased its 2013-14 projected enrollment by about 500 students
The district initially projected an enrollment of 2,200 students this fall, but now anticipates 2,700.
...unsure exactly what effect the additional 500 students will have on the budget deficit. Additional students will bring additional subsidies, but also will increase the district’s expenses.
Main Street was on the chopping block alongside the Chester Upland School of the Arts. Whether CUSA also can be saved remains unclear.
I originally thought that if they recruit 300 students both schools would be saved. But, now I read that they're unsure exactly what effect additional students have on the budget.
I'm just about ready to give up trying to figure these guys out. Will Smith got it right...Parents Just Don't Understand.

Who can understand? They say we have no money and everyone gets a contract for over 100K? Who does Governor Corbett expect things to get better with that type of nonsense going on by his hand picked recovery officer...we deserve better. How do you have a national talent search to find a new superintendent and you hire someone from school district #500 and we're #501? There were no good candidates in school districts #1 through #300? He's coming from the next failing district, he can't be the best option. We should demand more from Mr. Watkins, Governor Corbett and the elected school board members.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they keep both schools open that are blocks from each other, when there are no schools open in the city west of Parker St.
