STL re 5 ev I Wa Eo PM Le SM Ew TRA Lew Shiv et IE, The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Vednesday, December To, 1935: | ake-Lehman moves to lower costs By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff The Lake-Lehman school board voted to transfer the special speech services program from Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 to the dis- trict, starting in the 1993-94 school year, at its regular meeting Tues- day, December 8. According to superintendent Nancy Davis, the move, expected to affect 52 students, will save the district approximately $5,200. The speech teacher will be paid by the district. The speech class is open to any student needing speech therapy for any reason. The board also approved early retirement incentives for profes- sional and support staff. Accord- ing to business manager Ray Bowersox, teachers mustbe at least 50 years old; their incentive pay- ments will be based on their ages and years of service. “We won't know until February 15 at the earliest how much money we'll save,” Bowersox said. “We may not need to replace some re- tiring teachers; others could be replaced with teachers who would start at a lower position on the salary scale.” Support staff taking early re- tirement would receive a flat $1,000, Bowersox said. Although board members unani- mously approved the early retire- ment incentive for professional staff, Jeff Fritzen, Ed Kern and Dr. John Presper voted against the incentive for support staff. “To begin with, there has never been any precedent for this with the support staff. We don't see any significant savings to the district,” Kern and Fritzen said. In other business, the board unanimously passed a non-parti- san resolution urging President- elect Clinton and Congress to set new federal budget priorities in education because “our nation’s success in the post-Cold War world promotion.
