Chester Upland School District: Board Meeting

Superintendent Dr. Joyce Wells with the CUSD School Board

The Board Meeting held last evening was very tame and civilized, at times pleasant and humorous. An average number of people turned out for the meeting. A number of layoffs were listed in the agenda. However, news was announced that State Senator Dominic Pileggi restored $10.5 million of the $20 million proposed cuts. The restored funds may allow some staff who was furloughed to be called back to work.

The meeting only lasted an hour. The projected 2010-2011 operating cost is $114 million. The school board passed a $96.124 million operating budget which is still $18 million less in projected revenues from the previous year.
