Wallingford Swarthmore school budget struck down by judge
Judge Harry J. Bradley ordered Wallingford Swarthmore School District to dismantle its 1990 1991 budget and craft a new legal plan after ruling the district funded administrators’ benefits within the salary category in violation of the Public School Code. The district appealed, and a stay on implementation is expected during the appeal process. Bowie's lawsuit claims roughly 2 million annually in excessive administrator benefits, with more tax hikes past the 25 mill cap.
