Volunteers are wanted for school committee

WEST CHESTER The West Chester Area School District is forming a legislative action committee to provide input on education mandates.

The committee is open to volunteers. The district is looking for parents, non-parents, board members, teachers, administrators and citizens on fixed income, according to a letter from Superintendent Jim Scanlon.

The district aims to give feedback about unfunded mandates, which are policies created for schools by state and federal agencies that do not include funding, the letter said.

State-mandated retirement contributions added $2 million to the school district's budget this year, Scanlon said.

The first meeting will be Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. in West Chester. More information is available from the superintendent's office and at www.wcasd.net. - Justine McDaniel
