The Elementary Vocal Jazz Group provided the Forest City Regional School Board, Administrative Staff, and all in attendance a beautifully orchestrated two-song performance, opening the School Board meeting after the Pledge of Allegiance on March 14, 2016.  Ms. Yuravich, the music teacher informed everyone that FCRSD is the only school in the state that has an elementary Jazz Chorus, and for a school that size it’s very impressive.

The State has no final budget for this year. It has little prospect of reaching an amicable budget for FY-2017. SCSD has no contract with the Union. Teaching staff has been without a contract since June 30, 2015. Prospects for agreement on a new contract remain uncertain. Pension (PSERS) costs will definitely increase, until or unless the State legislates reforms. Pension costs are certain to escalate from 25.84% of salary expense to 30.03% in the next fiscal year, even while local revenues remain essentially level.
