Thursday evening at the district's public school board meeting, point by point, Quakertown Community School District Superintendent, Dr. Lisa Andrejko, refuted statements written by Richland Township Supervisor Rick Orloff in the latest edition of the Township Times - the township's quarterly newsletter.
Entitled "The QCSD Tipping Point," Orloff contends property taxes have increased by "over 70% in ten years ... with virtually no appreciable growth in the student population." Orloff also maintains that "mediocre" SAT scores among middle school and high school students are the norm.
Fearing that Orloff was spreading misinformation to area residents, Andrejko used her allotted time at the School Board meeting to set the record straight. "[The article] was obviously an opinion, disguised as fact," said Andrejko. Never mentioning Orloff by name, Andjreko proceeded to dissect Orloff's article countering his claims about property taxes and SAT scores, among other uncomplimentary remarks.
