Chester Upland looking to Chester Upland looking to community partnerships as it community partnerships as it grapples with drastic budget cutsgrapples with drastic budget cuts

By Dan Hardy By Dan Hardy Inquirer Staff WriterInquirer Staff Writer In a spring when school districts across the region

are digging deeper for spending cuts, the Chester Upland School District is considering a downright daunting move - shedding 40 percent of its teachers next school year. Facing a budget reduction of almost 20 percent, the Delaware County district might also cut support staff 50 percent. The average class size would go from 21 to 35.

Wells told the audience that "cuts will be pervasive - in every area" - and that the district was looking for "community partnerships to preserve as many programs as we can." She said after the meeting that she was not prepared to outline the district's plan in more detail.
