The first in- stallment of Lake-Lehman’s Ear- ly Childhood/Pre-school Pro- gram is scheduled for October 15, 16, and 17, and will feature “Reading Readiness: Activities and Strategies for Parents and Children.” The presentation will include basic reading readiness skills to prepare 4-year-olds for a suc- cessful school career. Parents will prepare one activity to use with their child at home. Sepa- rate activities include storytime, games, crafts, and snack are Dallas Middle School Student Council scheduled for the children at. each elementary school. The schedule is as follows: Ross Elementary School, Oct. 15, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.; Lake- Noxen Elementary, Oct. 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.; and Lehman- Jackson Elementary, Oct. 17, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Register for this first install- ment by calling your neighboring elementary school offices at Ross Elementary, 477-5050; Lake- Noxen Elementary, 639-1129; Lehman-Jackson Elementary, 675-2165. This program is only for chil- dren who will be five before Sep- tember 1, 2003 and are planning to enter kindergarten for the 2003-2004 school year. It is kindly requested that younger brothers and sisters do not at- tend. Lehman (continued from page 1) can be filed with the state La- bor Relations Board. Coslett said once an agree- ment is reached, both parties must sign the contract in a “rea- _ sonable” amount of time. Failure not to officially authorize an agreement that was made con- stitutes an unfair labor practice, . he said. “We believe a reasonable amount of time has expired,” Coslett said. Boytin said the teachers are asking for “modifications to the contract,” specifically in the area involving the buy-back of sick time. Boytin, however, said the contract clearly follows what is outlined by the fact-finder's re- port. Tensions involving the teach- ers surfaced at the work session when several board members questioned why the board should pay for teachers and coaches to attend various confer- ences when they have already been given a hefty raise and in several instances, have attended similar symposiums in the past. “You'd think after so many years they'd know what they're doing,” board member Lois Kopcha said. Joseph Kapitula questioned if it was more prudent to purchase video tapes of the conferences and keep them on file for future use. Superintendent Robert Roberts said organizers know they must alter the content of their conferences annually in or- der for participants to receive ap- proval. Many involve hands-on participation that would be lost in a video. This article appeared in original form in the Times Leader. It’s time to ‘horn in’!
