The Easton Area School District respects the diversity of its student
population and is dedicated to the importance of developing our students
into responsible citizens. We will provide each student with an academically
challenging program that enhances creativity, develops an ability to
use technology, and encourages critical thinking and problem solving.
In support of this mission, we will ensure a safe instructional environment
and promote life-long learning.
BOE UPDATE
Community Connection PSERS: Not Just Another Education Acronym, A Potential Crisis
Every year at budget season the Easton Area School District is trying to determine future costs. Some are discretionary (supplies and services), some are contractually bound (salaries and benefits), and some are mandated by the state. Slight changes in any category can tip the scale even in a good budget year. Dramatic changes in a mandated category risk throwing the entire budget into a tailspin where the educational objectives of a district become difficult to meet. There is a very real potential of this happening in Easton if the PSERS issue is not addressed.
Please download the Q&A excerpts from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association publication "School Leader News" bulletin of January 22, 2010. The 5th question highlights the problem we face in our school district.
The
purpose of all special and regular meetings of the board is to
conduct the official business of the Easton Area School District.
These meetings are held in public. The board invites residents,
parents, and other interested parties of the community to attend
its regular and special meetings and to fully understand its work.
The
Easton Area School District Board of Education meets at 6:30
P.M.
at the Education Center, on the 3rd
Thursday of each month.
