We are going to do our best to answer questions publicly posed to us. We are trying to do this on a daily basis, and the answers will be posted as we get them from the candidates.
Today's question is: Given the shortfalls of the district, and rumored to be heavier next year, what programs would we cut, or not cut?
Response from Paul Edelman
"Of any cuts made to the North Penn School District, educational curriculum and programming must be the last options to be considered. So much effort has been put into improving the education of our children, that it makes zero sense to take away anything that has contributed to educational progress. If anything, we will need to seek out new technology and educational resources to better prepare our children for life in the 21st century."
Response from Suzan Leonard
"I would say that before I looked at any programs to cut, how can we raise money? A leading business man and friend said, why don't we tap into corporate sponsorship...Call Crawford Stadium, Merck stadium, You get the idea. Also he said why do we not tap into an 'Alumni Association. Do you know how many graduates of North Penn there have been in 50 Years....
These are not my ideas, but things to consider as well as other suggestions made to me during this campaign."

Not sure asking alumni is going to work. We already pay our taxes to support the NPSD, that should be enough.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, I do send money as an alumni to my college university, but that is because the school is not funded by my taxpayer money already.
