    Dear Neighbor,
    Like you, we know the value of, and need for, a great public education that prepares every student for a successful and productive life.
    We also know our schools must be operated efficiently, so that taxpayer dollars are used appropriately to ensure a quality education.



How Did We Get Here? The WCASD Budget Shortfall

The West Chester Area School District is facing a $6.9 million budget shortfall. How did this happen, and what do we do now? Our team of Adsett, Carpenter, Pimley, and Wingerter is business and education professionals with no financial ties to the WCASD. We are parents, professionals, and taxpayers. Our backgrounds will help us find real solutions to problems, balance the budget, look long-term to our future needs, focus on quality education first, and not continually turn to the taxpayers to bail us out.
It’s time for new faces and new ideas on the WCASD Board!
