SURVIVE Continued from Page 1 year, even with raising property taxes by 4.3 percent — the most the district can raise taxes with- out the decision going to a refer- endum vote. The district has made drastic cuts to its budget since Gov. Tom Corbett unveiled the state budget last year, which cut nearly $1 mil- lion in revenues for the district. “He called for us to reinvent ourselves, and we did,” McGov- ern said about the governor. “...What we found out since then, it has become an indictment on public school education. This is about the privatization of public school education....Schools aren’t just making cuts — schools are dying.” Tom Melone, business manag- er, told the audience the current trend of decreasing revenues and increased expenditures will near- ly deplete the district’s fund bal- ance, akin to a savings account, this year and will leave the dis- trict $1.9 million in the red by 2013-14. “You cannot sustain that for a long period of time,” said Melone. “The formula just doesn’t allow you to go on indefinitely at those kinds of rates.” Britt Trumbower, president of Small Business Insurance Servic- es Inc. in Bear Creek, said the health care plan changes would not affect employees’ out-of-pock- et expenses. The plan, called a health reim- bursement arrangement, would lower the monthly costs of health care while raising the deductible. That money would go into a dis- trict account, which would cover doctors’ visits, prescription costs and other expenses for employ- ees, but would still result in an overall savings for the district. McGovern said if this action is not taken before the budget is passed in June, more drastic cuts will need to be made, including eliminating four to five elemen- tary teachers by reducing class sizes, restructuring music and art by removing two positions and other measures that would only save $1.39 million. “If you just cut programs, and you cut out teachers, you're cut- ting a set of eyes, you're cutting experiences,” said McGovern. “..I believe that intelligence is based on independent thought, and independent thought comes from the transfer of experiences, it comes from innovation, it comes from motivation, but most of all, it comes from inspiration. Our teachers inspire.” School Board President Mark Kornoski said the district solic- itor and other attorneys are look- ing into the matter, and he said the district will continue to pur- sue this measure despite the trust’s denial. He said the changes would need to be made by June 1 be- cause the new health care plan, which will most likely be a Blue Cross plan, will need a month for the district to enroll in the pro- gram. McGovern said if the district fails to pass a budget for the com- ing year, the state can come into the district and make cuts to bal- ance the budget. “The state doesn’t see this as a problem,” said McGovern, noting that programs such as kindergar- ten, transportation for athletics and extra-curricular activities are not state-mandated programs. “The first thing they would say is, ‘You don’t have a problem — elim- inate those. Increase your class sizes. Then you should be able to have a balanced budget.” In addition to making these changes, the district has employ- ed other cost-saving measures, such as offering businesses adver- tising on the district website and within the school and using cou- pons to save on product expenses. “If I have to have a banner up to proclaim someone’s business to save a child, I will,” said McGov- ern. He also said the board is inves- tigating starting its own daycare and wants to better utilize the ser- vices of the Lake-Lehman Foun- dation, a nonprofit agency associ- ated with the district. McGovern encouraged those in attendance to approach him in person, by phone or via e-mail with ideas and suggestions about how the district can save money. The board will vote on the pro- posed final budget at its next meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 14 in the junior/senior high school library.
