Allentown School District Faces Challenges Due to Budget Impasse
Allentown School District officials are concerned about the impact of the state budget impasse on their operations. The district receives $333 million annually from the state, accounting for 67% of its total budget.
"While the district entered the fiscal year in a stable financial position, the prolonged nature and scale of the current impasse was unforeseen. The prolonged delay has begun to place a serious strain on us as an organization,"
said district Superintendent Carol Birks. To address the delayed payments, the district is implementing operational adjustments, including reducing non-essential expenditures, limiting overtime, and reducing charter school payments.
According to Birks, these measures are necessary to combat the financial strain caused by the budget impasse. The district's total budget relies heavily on state funding, making the delay in payments a significant challenge.
