Avalon Elementary parking Borough officials and Avalon PTO members have come up with a plan to help ease parking problems created when parents drop-off and pick-up their child-ren at school.

A resolution approved by Avalon Council at its Aug. 18 meeting will allow parents to purchase a parking permit that will let them park in front of the school, between North School Street and North Chestnut Street, from 7:30 until 8:30 a.m. and from 2:30 until 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Northgate looks to stimulus funds

Stimulus money and reserve funds will help a deficit of nearly $1 million in the Northgate School District’s proposed 2009-10 budget.

According to Northgate superintendent Dr. Reggie Bonfield, the proposed budget shows expenditures of about $19.1 million and revenues of about $18.2 million, leaving a deficit of $960,167.

Bonfield said that he hopes to recover some of that deficit with the anticipated federal stimulus money and that the district will transfer the remaining money from the reserve funds rather than increasing the property tax millage rate.
