Â
The Greenway School Board met for the first time since a special election was held at the beginning of the year to vote in three new board members. The current board now consists of Chair Bob Schwartz, Bill Hoeft, LaNea Randall-Johnson, Carissa McIlwain-Nelson, Ryan Johns and Mary Kay Jacobson. New board members got right down to business as the board went through a revision of the ISD 316 budget.Â
Revised Budget
District Business Manager Randi Jurgansen presented board members with a revised budget for fiscal year 2021. The projected ending balance of the budget is $2,505,100. Jurgansen explained how the district operates out of nine funds that can be classified as either nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned and unassigned. Much of the districtâs funding is based on the amount of students it serves. In September 2020, the district started the school year with 1,021 students. As of Feb. 16, the total number of students was at 997.Â

EAST ROCKHILLÂ â For the second month in a row, board Vice President Joan Cullen s attendance at the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C that ended in violence dominated the public comment portion of the Feb. 22 Pennridge School Board meeting.Â
At the board s Jan. 26 meeting, Cullen condemned the violence, but defended her actions as being part of a peaceful rally to advocate for election integrity.
Several public comments that had been emailed were also read aloud at that meeting, which was held as a virtual meeting because of inclement weather. Not all the emails were read, though, after Michael Miller, the district s attorney and parliamentarian for the public comments portion of the meeting, reviewed the emails and found that some did not follow district policy regarding public comment.
