As we are all aware, the release of Governor Tom Corbett's proposed budget affects Pennsylvania's communities and economy and also directly impacts CASD.
I believe that it's important for our employees to better understand the effect of the proposed budget on daily operations. In order to address this concern and increase communication, the district has scheduled several meetings in regard to the budget and its impact on our district.
Each meeting has a specific audience as well as location; therefore, I urge you to attend the appropriate meeting.

Additionally, in light of the recently announced reduction in state funding for the 2011-2012 school year, the Chambersburg Area School District has implemented an immediate cost control measure through June 30, 2011.
Effective immediately, all non-essential expenditures will require prior approval from the Superintendent of Schools. The district will continue to honor all expenditures authorized through contractual agreements approved prior to March 21, 2011.
Thank you for your continued support of the Chambersburg Area School District's efforts to address the financial issues that we are currently experiencing.
