lawsuit filed against LNT

FROM ROSS NUNAMAKER

Both the Express-Times and the Morning Call have articles (from late last week) about Dr. Lesky’s comments regarding the lawsuit filed against LNT.


If I remember correctly, the school will save $50,000 (later revised to $80,000) per year on its electric bill (read previous post) at Lower Nazareth Elementary.


The current school budget is: $68,100,000. The amount of money the district is suing LNT over is one tenth of a percent of its total budget.


The Morning Call quotes, “"We're facing shortfalls in keeping our programs in effect," Lesky said after the conference. "Here is what we consider an excellent way to save a huge sum of dollars that will enable us to put those dollars toward education — all of this stands to be lost if the township supervisors don't change their minds."


The Express-Times quotes, “In a statement read this morning, Lesky said, "Implementation of this project would allow the dollars saved to be allocated toward maintaining current programs and services for our students, keeping class sizes at reasonable levels and allowing the current real estate tax millage to stay within state (standards)."
