It’s part of the high school experience, and having a team makes that possible.” CHANGES Continued from Page 3 dents, and an added course, civ- ics and government, will be add- @.... said the art and mu- 1 sic courses will continue to be evaluated on the elementary lev- el to determine whether or not cuts or changes need to be made. McGovern said this curricu- lum realignment will “change the face of Lake-Lehman forev- er.” He anticipates more difficult decisions for the board in the coming months prior to the pas- sage of the 2011-12 budget in June. He said the district is also analyzing extracurricular activ- ities and utilizing stimulus mon- ey to determine more penny- pinching to balance a deficit be- tween $1.7 and 2.1 million. “It’s a big ‘wait and see,” said board member Andrew Salko of determining what cuts need to be made. “We have no idea what’s out there.” In other business... oe Business Manager Tom Melone told the board there is a change to a resolution voted up- on in January stating how much the district will collect in delin- quent taxes. Previously, the dis- trict was estimated to collect $850,000 in 2011, $900,000 in 2012 and $900,000 in 2013. A more current estimate states the district will collect $1.1 million in 2011 and $1 million in 2012 and 2013." Melone said it’s positive in that the district will receive more money, but he said the dis- trict now has more delinquent ‘taxes. ¢ The board unanimously ap- pointed Lorraine Farrell, widow of former board Vice President John Peter Farrell, to serve his term until it expires in Decem- ber. Farrell died following a one- car crash on April 15. ¢ The board appointed Lois Kaschenbach, of Dallas, as an elementary certified substitute teacher. ¢ The board accepted letters of retirement from the following teachers with regret and grati- tude effective at the end of this school year: Molly Malpass, sec- ondary mathematics teacher; Robin Rogers, family and con- sumer science teacher; and Da- niel Williams, industrial tech- nology teacher. Te he board approved the re- signation of Varsity Assistant Track Coach Phil Kasper and ap- pointed Scott Summa as a re- placement. * Suzanne Corcone, of Dallas, was appointed as a clerical sub- stitute and Yvonne Garnett, of Dallas, and Anis Hamersley, of Benton, were appointed as a teacher associate and clerical substitute, respectively. eo Marilyn Neifert, a Lake- Noxen Elementary food service worker, was approved for an ex- tended unpaid leave of absence from March 22 through May 1. ® The board accepted a letter of retirement with regret from Raymond Gitschlag effective May 6. e The board approved the 2011-12 school calendar. ¢ The board authorized a re- fund of paid taxes to the follow- ing property owners: Richard Jr. and Alecia Derhammer for a property in Lake Township in the amount of $638.76, Joseph Ryan for a property in Harveys Lake in the amount of $255.50, William Strauser Jr. for two properties in Harveys Lake in the amounts of $1,035.91 and $1,154.02, and Brian Zaborney for a property in Harveys Lake in the amount of $155.01. BMCP Continued from Page 1 ward for the partnership’s ongo- ing cooperation, Reino said the organization is still working on tackling bigger issues facing the Back Mountain. “I believe this means we should continue on moving ahead with the issues,” he said. “There are a lot of other issues, bigger issues, we'll need to work on one step at a time. That’s the best thing we can do.” The Back Mountain Commu- nity Partnership organized in June 2009 and is comprised of representatives from the gov- ernments of Dallas Borough and Dallas, Franklin, Jackson, Kingston and Lehman town- ships. Partnership Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said forming an intergo- vernmental cooperation organi- zation has several added bene- fits that directly affect the indi- vidual communities. “It identifies the issues all mu- nicipalities share,” he said. “They’re all from Back Moun- tain; they all have similar con- cerns in regards to safety and protection issues. If you can have one ordinance that is simi- lar, it helps the entire region.” Malak said the municipal cooperation also saves tax- payers money when it comes to applying for grants or making purchases. “When we go to purchase something, we don’t have to do separate purchasing, which means we don’t have to dupli- cate different legal fees, and we save taxpayers’ dollars while still meeting all the needs of community,” he said. He added that some munici- palities may not be able to make large purchases on their own, but it becomes a possibility as they work with the partnership. The partnership was de- signed to be a cooperative orga- nization and not a separate enti- ty from individual municipal- ities. Malak said this is because the group wanted to give each municipality the option to par- ticipate in projects.
