Sequester Will Have Minimal Impact on Quaker Valley

The Quaker Valley School District does not depend heavily on federal revenue.

Pennsylvania education stands to lose more than $26 million in the sequester cuts that start today. Quaker Valley School District isn't exempt, though the affects on the district from the across-the board spending cuts appear minimal.

In the 2012-13 and 2013-14 budget, the district reports it is anticipating 5.1 percent less in federal funding, or $27,632. 

Quaker Valley is predicting $177,859 in Title I funding, $51,973 for Title II, and $311,965 in IDEA funding.
