The story compares salary cost-cutting measures made throughout Lancaster County School Districts. County-wide, school employees cut expenses by $9 million.
In Octorara, the cuts (beyond the $81,000 figure) also included eliminating the jobs of the evening custodial staff. This contract went to ServiceMaster. The athletic director director was also furloughed, but has begun a job as an independent athletic trainer and may earn up to $30,000 annually in services performed for district athletic teams.
