We continue our special series on the long-range impact of the budget impasse in Harrisburg on school districts here in Beaver County. Dr. Joe Guardino is the superintendent of schools in the New Brighton Area School District. He tells Beaver County Radio newsman Pat Septak that 70% of the district’s funding comes from Harrisburg. He says  they’ve had to put a ban on all purchasing in the district except for that which is deemed “critical” and says he can’t rule out shutting down the schools if a budget isn’t passed soon.
