Morrisville School District Superintendent Andrew Doster warned families on Nov. 3 that all school operations could be suspended by Jan. 30 if Pennsylvania lawmakers fail to pass a state budget soon. The 850-student district, which depends on the state for over half its funding, has been operating with less than 50% of its annual revenue due to both state and federal budget delays. Despite cost-cutting measures like freezing expenses and delaying payments, officials say they will run out of money to cover payroll and operations by mid-January. Doster met with staff and plans student assemblies to explain the crisis, while the school board will revisit financial options at a Nov. 19 meeting. He urged parents to contact legislators, emphasizing his commitment to minimizing disruption but warning that a prolonged budget impasse could halt all classes, activities and services.
