  • When: Penn Manor school board meeting, April 22. Donna Wert was absent. Dell Jackson, who was attending remotely by phone, left the meeting early.

The Penn Manor School District in Lancaster County is facing budget challenges due to soaring transportation costs and the need to hire additional staff, as reported by LancasterOnline. The district's transportation costs have increased by 15% this year, primarily due to a shortage of bus drivers and rising fuel prices. To address these issues, the district has had to hire more drivers at higher wages and implement route adjustments. Additionally, the district is planning to hire more teachers and support staff to accommodate growing enrollment and new educational programs. These factors have led to a proposed budget increase of 3.5%, which includes a tax hike to help cover the rising costs. The school board is currently deliberating on the budget, aiming to balance the need for quality education with fiscal responsibility.
