Summary

Business Manager Mr. Palilla informed the board that the Commonwealth has frozen general funding; he provided a budget letter and clarified that homestead and retirement subsidy were not included in the freeze.

Business Manager Mr. Palilla told the board there had been little new action from the state regarding the budget and that district staff had received a budget letter from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania secretary stating that funding is frozen. He noted explicitly that the homestead and retirement subsidy payments were not included in the freeze as conveyed in the letter provided to the board.

No formal fiscal action or vote was recorded on the item at the work session; the discussion was presented as an update on state-level budget activity and its potential effect on district planning. Administrators said they were awaiting additional state action and further guidance anticipated in September.
