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.
