The final vote for the budget was held on June 17th. It passed with a vote of 6 to 2 ... surprisingly enough I was one of the yes votes. When it came down to it, the average increase of $79.20 is better than most areas and if we were to go any lower we would start to lose programs. It is a tough time for everyone, but there is no need to make it tough on the children by cutting programs.
(Now we need to hope the state does not cut the $1.1 million in stimulus money we are supposed to receive.)
We also had the pleasure of electing our new Superintendent, Dr. Gretzula. We all agreed he was the best person to help us continue along the path we have set for Bensalem School District.

While comments are welcome, I will delete comments that are demeaning or have inappropriate language (including the use of $ for an 's', and other acronyms.)
