Cash flow woes: Pennsylvania schools feeling the pinch of the Pa. budget impasse

by Mark Pynes, Penn Live

Monday marked Day 62 without a state budget and the effects of that continue to mount. Not only is Chester-Upland School District in such a financial predicament that it won’t be able to make its Sept. 9 payroll with the absence of state dollars, hardships are starting to be felt across the entire educational spectrum from preschool to higher education. Lawmakers and Gov. Tom Wolf met once last week to try get talks moving on a two-month overdue state budget but a follow-up meeting scheduled for the next day was cancelled at the Democratic governor’s request because he said he needed more time to study an offer that Republicans put on the table.
