EAST ROCKHILLÂ â When the Pennridge School Board Finance Committee met on March 8, the preliminary figures for the proposed 2021-2022 budget showed $1.9 million more expenses than income.Â
Since then, $1,463,126 of federal pandemic stimulus funding has been added to the revenue side and $461,191 of expenses have been dropped, Sean Daubert, the district s business administrator, said at the April 12 Finance Committee meeting.
Most of the decrease in spending comes from changes discussed at the March 8 meeting in connection with the district s plans to continue increasing the number of special education students receiving their education in district schools rather than the district contracting out for the services, he said.
Pennridge School Board is scheduled to vote on the resolution at the board s Jan. 26 meeting. This is not a resolution that s advocating one way or another for charter schools in terms of their existence and whether families choose that, Superintendent David Bolton said at the Jan. 11 meeting of the board s Finance Committee.Â

The purpose of this resolution is to ask for a more fair funding formula for charter school education, and especially cyber charter education, Bolton said in a telephone interview.
