Board goes back on word, now says there will be no new elementary school

According to an article on PoconoNews.net about Thursday night's school board meeting, the majority of the board has decided to pull plans for a new Delaware Valley Elementary School off the agenda, with no plans for "long range" planning for the next three to six months.

This contradicts a commitment by board president Bob Goldsack in January, at which time he publicly stated there would be a new elementary school built.

The decision is based on the poor state of the economy.
