According to Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Sandy Giordano, he told officials that Aliquippa School District had to borrow $2,000,000 because of the state; budget impasse at a high interest rate, and are facing  a $928,556 general fund deficit.  He said that the interest rate is lost money to the district.
