Why would any school board want to do this in public? Keep it quiet: That's the Emperor's philosophy.
Pennsbury to hold budget meetings in a public forum

Pennsbury wants residents to participate in one or more of three open forum discussions on school district budget planning for next year.
In a difficult budget year in which Pennsbury is looking for ways to save money in all departments, the district wants as much input from residents and stakeholders as possible, CEO Paul Long said during a recent board meeting.
"We will use a town meeting forum at for these discussions, which will enable residents to have dialogue with school board members and administrators. At each forum, a budget update will be presented and then residents will be invited to share their ideas and comment on education and finance at Pennsbury. Locations for these public discussions were selected to provide convenience for school district residents," said school board President Gregory Lucidi in a prepared statement.
The meetings are scheduled from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.:
April 7, Pennwood Middle School auditorium, 1523 Makefield Road
May 7, Afton Elementary School cafeteria, 1673 Quarry Road
June 4, Walt Disney Elementary School auditorium, 200 Lakeside Drive North
Call: 215-428-4178.
