Puppio, Jr., Esq. Lawrence Kutys Wallingford-Swarthmore School District Solicitor Joana M. Hopkins William Penn School District Message from the Executive Director The 2021-2022 budget for the Delaware County Technical Schools (DCTS) has been prepared to balance the programming needs of technical school students in the county with sound fiscal discipline. The budget reflects a 3.84% or $553,877 increase from the 2020-2021 budget. The districts’ contribution to the budget increased $177,217 or 1.60%, which is less than the Act 1 index of 3.0% and the district’s county-wide average index of 3.66%. Contractual obligations are the primary factor contributing to the budget increase including the rate increase from 34.51% to 34.94% for the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS). This increase added $107,443 to retirement expense, a 0.75% increase to the proposed budget. DCIU enrolls over 1000 students in 21 programs offered at two campuses—Aston and Folcroft. We firmly believe that we offer an outstanding technical school program in Delaware County, that prepares students to continue their education in a post-secondary setting or to be job ready. To ensure our programs remain relevant and that we are keeping up with the changing occupational landscape, our leadership staff meet regularly with local business and manufacturing leaders to assess local workforce needs for the near future. These meetings have been the catalyst for transforming our CTE programs into the Schools of Health and Bioscience; Engineering and Computer Science; Logistics, Distribution and Transportation; Hospitality, Tourism, and Human Services; and Construction Technology and Design. Within each School, programs represent an array of education levels, skill requirements, and career pathways. Added to the 2021-22 budget is a position expanding the medical careers at Aston with a Hybrid, Medical Careers/Health Science program. This position will only be filled if there is a need to open the program based on enrollment. All new Delaware County Technical High Schools’ students work on completing OSHA-10 Certifications. Our returning students, work on Employability: Interviewing Skills Certification. We are proud that every DCTS student will earn at least one certification before graduation! Our programs are constantly growing with new equipment and industry recommendations from the Occupational Advisory Committees for each program. DCTS is pleased to enjoy a supportive relationship with local school boards and Superintendents who understand the importance of offering students a quality career and technical education. We sincerely appreciate this support, which has enabled the DCTS staff to provide state of the art programming for students to learn the skills needed to compete in a 21st century economy and workforce. We look forward to that continued support and to another successful year and we remain excited about the many possibilities for a bright future for Delaware County’s students. Maria Edelberg, Ed.D. Drive Create Inspire Understand Message from the Director Career & Technical Education The mission of Delaware County Technical High Schools (DCTS) is to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s opportunities by providing the best career and technical education possible. As an extension of high school elective course work, students attend DCTS in half-day sessions for their technical education and complete their academic courses at their high school. Our students enhance their education with valuable workforce skills including: job shadowing, co-operative education, career and post-secondary preparation, character building, and community service opportunities as well as technical skill training. Students complete industry credentials and can receive articulated college credits while attending DCTS. We prepare students for a path to enter college or a path directly into the workforce upon completion of our program and high school graduation. With twenty-one different technical programs, our students build a strong foundation for life-long learning and the credentials necessary for challenging, high demand careers. We have several Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs): SkillsUSA, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Health Occupation Student Association (HOSA) and the National Technical Honor Society(NTHS) that enhance students’ leadership and technical skill development. In recent years, many students have received state and national recognition through skills competitions in their chosen career pathways. The budget allows DCTS to continue to offer programs of study that prepare students for today’s high skill and high wage occupations that are globally competitive and meet the demands of the workforce. Our teachers challenge and encourage our students to follow their goals and pursue their dreams as they begin their career pathways. Thank you for your support of Delaware County Technical High Schools and our students. Stephen Butz, Ed.D.

    HOMESTEAD / FARMSTEAD APPLICATION The Taxpayer Relief Act was signed into law in June 2006. It will provide property tax relief to resident homeowners. Property tax relief will not be immediate.

You must qualify for the reduction by filing a homestead exclusion application with the Homestead Coordinator’s office, and your application must be approved. The completed application must be received before March 1st. Mail to: Homestead Coordinator, Board of Assessment, Courthouse and Government Center, 201 W.
