Freeport Area School District disputes unemployment compensation judgment
The Freeport Area School District is disputing a $26,358 judgment from the state alleging failure to pay reimbursement and interest to the unemployment compensation fund.
The state Department of Labor and Industry filed the judgment in May in Butler County Common Pleas Court, claiming the district failed to pay reimbursements in 2021 and 2022 and accrued interest.
“We’re working with our solicitor to battle the notice of judgment,” said Brad Walker, the district’s director of finance and operations.
