In The Reporter:
“Pottstown School District, for instance, is $13.5M underfunded each year, therefore many standard programs that properly funded school districts have routinely implemented for years have been cut to balance the district budget. Elementary school counselors are one such resource that had been cut from the Pottstown schools, as well as other underfunded school districts in the state. Pottstown has four elementary schools, so there are four critically important positions that have gone unfilled for a number of years. This year, the district has added four temporary grant-funded counselors.
