School Board Turns Away From State Construction Funding

As you should know by now, the Lower Merion School District is moving ahead with the construction of a New Harriton High School despite the fact that the bids came in higher than their own not-to-exceed budget.  You should also know that the District has overtaxed the citizens by $20.1 Million over the last three years so that it won't have to borrow an amount that would require voter approval.  But now we learn another new twist that has resulted in our taxes being higher than necessary.
