The Penns Manor School District will consider a measure to keep funding coming in during the state budget impasse tonight.
On the proposed agenda is a motion to authorize Superintendent Daren Johnston, business manager Jennifer Sleppy and solicitor Ron Saffron to ask for a proposal from First Commonwealth Bank for a tax and revenue anticipation note for the district. Due to the lack of a state spending plan in place, school districts across the state have not received necessary funding, and districts have been taking measures to make sure they have the money to operate. Last month, the district announced that Sleppy had applied for an Act 85 Debt Intercept payment to cover the bond debt. At that time, Johnston said that the district had enough money to cover expenses until November.
The meeting starts tonight at 7:00 PM at the district office.
