Take Action
A story in the Tredyffrin-Easttown Patch reports that two of the Republican School Board Candidates – Tara LaFiura (Region 1) and Liz Mercogliano (Region 2) – simply had better things to do then attend the only School Board debate for this election.
For those of you who missed them, the League of Women Voters-sponsored candidate debates are now viewable online as streaming video.
School Board President Karen Cruickshank expressed her gratitude to the Tredyffrin-Easttown Education Association (TEEA) for their offer of a 6-month pay waiver for the first half of the 2011-12 school year. The agreement freezes all compensation at 2010-11 levels and helps close next year’s $3 million budget gap. Speaking about negotiations, teacher union president Pete DePiano said, “Karen was the glue, she was the key to all this.” Read more on the pay agreement and Karen’s bi-partisan support for re-election to the school board.
