Frustrations ran high among Exeter school officials at a budget workshop held before a sparse crowd this week.
“It’s a bind the state has put us in,” said Dr. David S. Bender, school board vice president.
“Not to mention the lack of support in Harrisburg for education funding,” said Dr. Beverly A. Martin, superintendent. “You don’t want to raise taxes because people are hurting. How do you get out of that type of hole?”
Since adopting a preliminary budget of $64.8 million in January, the district has slashed expenses by about $1.8 million, Business Manager Anne Guydish said. However, a budget shortfall of $844,298 remains.
