Why this matters
Approvals of IU and vocational budgets, and of the special-education intergovernmental funding agreement, set the district's fiscal obligations to county-level providers for the upcoming fiscal year. The fund disbursement vote covered routine operating payments. The approved Chester County IU contract is a short-term ($11,250) services contract for PIMS-related work through June 2026.
What happens next
Board members and staff indicated continued budget work over the coming months; multiple committee meetings are scheduled, including the finance committee on April 7. The next public board meeting is scheduled for April 15 at the Administration Building.
