Announcements:

Dr. Dwyer reminded directors that the upcoming June meeting will have budgetary

considerations and end-of-fiscal year considerations on the Consent Agenda. The board

reorganization meeting is in July.

The orientation for the evening was presented by Dr. Betsy Baker, Director of Continuous

School Improvement Services. A PowerPoint presentation outlined the initiatives of that

department. Dr. Baker discussed the roles and responsibilities of CSIS department’s staff and

the department’s sources of revenue. Dr. Baker noted School Improvement is about change that

is meaningful, productive and intentional and affects student learning, instruction, and classroom

and school professional communities.

Directors’ Reports

Dr. Dwyer noted the second annual Safe School Leadership Strategies Conference is scheduled

for July 30. This is offered in cooperation with PA School Study Council. Private and public

sector agencies will present sessions. Board members are welcome to attend; please register

with Mary Ann Wigfield. Dr. Dwyer also reviewed the most recent agenda from the

Superintendents Advisory Council meeting and talked about the typical topics of discussion,

noting there is time during each meeting for superintendents to give input on what services they

may need from CIU #10.

Dr. Dwyer told directors that on Tuesday, May 20, he was the commencement speaker at GED

graduation exercises which took place at the Central Pennsylvania School for Science and

Technology. The GED classes are offered through the Development Center for Adults. Ms.

Jenna Witherite, Adult and Community Programs, Marketing/Grants Coordinator, and her staff

did an excellent job organizing the event.

Dr. Baker noted submission of the Arts and Education Model Development and Dissemination

grant, a competitive grant for $1.3 million. The CSIS staff has also provided support to five

districts submitting Keystones to Opportunity Year 3 Continuation Grants.

Mr. Catherman reported that one of our regional computer fair winners, Alan Masullo, a student

representing Central PA Institute of Science and Technology, placed third at the state Computer

Fair competition in Logo Design. Mr. Catherman noted that this is quite an accomplishment;

this category is particularly competitive.

Ms. Starner noted that for Extended School Year, CIU #10 staff provides services over the

summer, and that Bellefonte Area School District contracts with us to hire their employees for

ESY. These are agenda items for approval tonight. Nonviolent Crises Intervention training and

five extra work days are being requested for Amy Garvey, Special Education Supervisor, due to

the imminent retirement of Linda Brown.

Ms. Krise reported the Early Intervention Assurance needs board approval. This document

assures our compliance with special education laws. She also noted that four of her staff have

given birth to new babies, two on the same day. We have a need for speech therapists. Karen

also invited directors to purchase tickets for themed baskets being sold by our Relay for Life

team. This is an annual fundraising for the American Cancer Society.

Mr. Johnston reported an early incentive buyout is being considered for a very specific group of

employees. We would like to have the incentive ready for July 1. This plan is still in the

development stage. Secondly, we are considering a revision in the support staff salary structure

that takes responsibility level into consideration. Advance information will be provided to the

Board of Directors prior to the next meeting if these plans are developed.
