Budget Impasse Takes Its Toll On Local School Districts – Part 1

As the state budget impasse continues to drag on, with no end in sight, many Beaver County school districts are just hanging on by a thread, without any of the much-needed funding they’ve come to rely on from Harrisburg. Today Beaver County Radio News began a four-part series on what long-term impact this lack of a budget will have on local districts.

He says they’re probably be okay through June, but eventually they’ll need to take out a loan, raise property taxes and possibly even close their doors.
