Wilson Area School District Collective Bargaining Agreement

  • April 15, 2021

The Easton Area School Board has decided to participate in the Pennsylvania Department of common cent education program. The program asked the state to review the district at no cost to local taxpayers to identify how the county could save tax dollars. [69] As a result of the information audit, the borough was not required to implement the recommended cost reductions. The audit revealed potential annual savings of more than $78,000 through a number of cost centres, including food services, transportation, purchases and incidental costs. The opportunities for food supply savings and incidental costs seemed particularly promising for the county. The school board also approved a contract on Thursday, June 14 for the four executive secretaries of the Wilson area school district. The board accepted the agreement 7-0. The five-year contract will begin on July 1, 2018. Secretaries receive these increases: Easton Area School District is a municipal, local and rural school district in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. It is intended for the city of Easton as well as Forks, Palmer and parts of the Lower Mount Bethel Townships. Easton Area School District comprises about 28 square miles. In 2009, per capita income was $20,875, while the average family income was $53,545. [2] According to 2005 census data, the population was 63,195.

In 2007/2008, EASD provided 9,047 students per school district to 767 teachers, 408 full-time and part-time facilitators, and 36 administrators to basic education services. In June 2011, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed legislation that abandoned six of the Act 1 exceptions. [86] Several exceptions were maintained: 1) interest and interest payments incurred before September 4, 2004 for 72-year-olds and before June 27, 2006 for non-Act 72 schools; 2) The cost of paying interest and principal on election debts; 3) costs associated with the provision of special training programs and services (beyond what is already paid for by the state); and 4) costs resulting from increases more than the index of the school`s share in payments to the PSERS (pa school staff pension fund), taking into account the contribution rate of the PSERS imposed by the State. [87] [88] Parliament also froze the amount of wages that public school districts use to calculate the 2012 pension exemption.
