‘Major’ Budget Presentation

Upper Dublin School District Superintendent Michael Pladus said Monday night’s school board meeting will include a “major” budget presentation.

The district has been looking for ways to pare down a deficit since the budget process began. Most recently, the district approved an early retirement incentive plan for its teachers; Pladus said it’s possible the plan could drum up $750,000 in savings, but ten teachers have to sign up. The deficit stands at about $2 million.

Pladus would not say how many teachers have already taken the early retirement option, and added that teachers have until early May to decide.

According to the agenda, the board could approve some furloughs at the meeting and some “non-tenured individuals” could be terminated. 

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
