Coatesville continues to seek ways to close $6 9M spending gap

Coatesville Area school board approved the preliminary 2021-22 budget during the April 27 board meeting in a 7-1 vote with Mary Ann Harris opposed.

Public Citizens for Children and Youth released the report, which examines the 61 school districts in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties and found that schools have a hard time meeting the needs of diverse students.
