NWL REORGANIZATION

PENSION CONTRIBUTION TO RISE TO 29.27%

 

 

The new Northwestern Lehigh Board members were sworn in last night. Charlene Rauscher, Joseph Fatzinger, Todd Leiser, and John Casciano are the new additions to the board. Everyone wishes them well and support them in their new job.

 

Williard Delliker was named president, Paul Fisher vice-president, and Todd Hernandez Secretary for the board.

 

In other business was news that the district contribution to the teachers pension plan will rise next year to 29.27 % of employee salary. Half of this is supposed to be reimbursed by the state. The biggest obstacle to reform of this pension plan is the state teachers union.

 

The State Budget is not expected to be settled before the new year.

 

The projected Earned Income Revenue is down $84,000 so far, but this is possibly a result of accounting errors at the county level.

 

The next board meeting is January 20, 2016, members of the community are encouraged to attend.
