Methacton School District

 Our Finances

The financial health of our public school organization is paramount to the future of our community. Our ability to accomplish our vision for the future is commensurate with our ability to manage our finances. The current economic climate necessitates the need for us to be flexible and to continue to challenge the status quo with regard to both spending and revenues, in order to provide the quality of education our community expects.

The Methacton School District is a $100 million dollar operation. The administration and the Board of School Directors must work together to address challenges such as rising retirement costs and healthcare costs, to name a few. The forecast suggests that our current spending is not supported by our projected revenues. The Methacton School District will need to address this expenditure and revenue issue, along with addressing the capital reserve fund and fund balance, in order to maintain long term financial stability. A 5-year budgetary projection is located on the district website.
