If you blinked Thursday night, you might have missed the school board meeting.
The board was done with its work session in just over 30 minutes. Not sure if that's a new record but its darn close.
But even at that speed, there was some news to glean, the most significant of which is a pending savings of $573,591 as the result of a bond re-financing.
Board member Kim Stilwell said the finance committee has endorsed the plan and a vote Monday will move things forward.
Board Vice President Emanuel Wilkerson said that with the possibility of the loss of Pottstown Hospital from the tax rolls, the board should once again be asking the community for suggestions about how to economize.
(Last time the call when out, there were few responses.)
And, in the gloom and doom department, Superintendent Stephen Rodriguez said a potential cut to Federal Communications Commission funding at the federal level has the potential to cost the district because of federal funding it uses to buy electronic equipment.
But not to end on a dark note, another Pottstown teacher has used the district's housing initiative to buy a home here in the borough.
And with that, here are the Tweets.
