At the beginning of the May 14th meeting of the Montrose School Board, a moment of silence was held in memory of long-time Mountain View School Board member Jim Zick. The moment of silence was requested by Montrose board member Chris Caterson.

The annual Ray Kroc achievement award was presented each year to a student in the junior high school. Mr. Wilcox was present that evening to present the award to Joni Host. He stood and read a statement about the award, which he presented on behalf of McDonald's. The award was given in honor of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, who began the chain restaurant and highly valued persistence. The award was annually given, Mr. Wilcox said, to a student who made a real contribution to not only the school but also the community. It included a medallion, a certificate, a scholastic scholarship in the amount of $250, a share of McDonald's stock, and a plaque. Those present gave a standing ovation, and Miss Host walked around the table shaking the hands of the board members.

A second award was given the girl's basketball program, which had the most successful program in the school's history Mr. Ognosky explained. They had been the District 2 champions, and made it to the Eastern finals in the state competition. He said that they had terrific underclassmen, great leadership, and terrific coaches. County Commissioner Alan Hall and State Representative Sandra Major attended the meeting to present the awards.

Mr. Tallarico spoke, saying that these girls lit up a community, and lit up a school. One of the proudest moments for him, he said, was not how far they went, but that the district had received a letter from an official commending their behavior and respect. He called this a credit. Montrose was probably one of the smaller schools at the AA division, he said, and the only public school left at that level. To say that the district was proud of them, he continued, was an understatement. The girls made a name for themselves in the state. He also asserted that the player's academic success was equal to their athletic success, and recognized the coaches as role models.

The girls' names were then called, and the legislators gave those present awards. The girls honored included Ashlee Lattner, Samantha Dixon, Dallas Ely, Meghan Gilhool, Lindsay Gregory, Brooke Malloy, Angela Russell, Katie Stranburg, Myra Lattimore, Nicki Lewis, Fallon Gurn, Sara Krupinski, Morgan Groover, and Ceara Hartman. The coaches were Al Smigh and Mary Gesford.

Representative Major had certificates for the coaches as well, and presented something to the principal as well. Mr. Tallarico read it aloud. The certificate represented a citation from the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, speaking of the team's personal sacrifice and unity of purpose. It called the girls truly deserving of victory, and stated that the House of Representatives heartily congratulated them and wished them the best.

County Commissioner Hall then read one of the certificates he had given out. These stated that the Commissioners of Susquehanna County congratulated the girls and the team on their outstanding performance. Commissioner Hall called this a huge accomplishment, and said that each team member deserved recognition. He also applauded their achievement and wished them continued success.

Mr. Ognosky thanked Representative Major. She in turn thanked the board for the opportunity to be present, the parents for what they had done, and everyone who had worked with the team and the ladies. She called them a remarkable, remarkable basketball team.

Mr. Ognosky then acknowledged Commissioner Hall for attending, saying that in 25 years as an administrator he was the first county commissioner to attend a Montrose school board meeting. He called their commendation of achievements a wonderful thing.

After this point most everyone left the meeting, leaving only the press, board, administration, and staff. A motion was made to approve a preliminary budget for the 2012-2013 fiscal year in the amount of $23,531.602 total.

Act 1 of 2006, Ms. Lusk explained, offered installment payments to homestead and farmstead qualifiers. In 2011 Act 25 was passed which extended that option also to small businesses. A motion was made that evening to adopt a resolution, then, to provide an option for installment payment of real estate taxes to all taxpayers. This was what the district had elected to do rather than trying to differentiate homestead, farmstead, and small business owners.

The resignation of James Hinds was accepted with regret. For close to the last ten years, Mr. Ognosky estimated, Mr. Hinds had served as the Head Boys and Girls Tennis Coach. This past year he was honored by the United States Tennis Association. He worked tirelessly with not only the district's kids, it was stated, but with other interested students. Mr. Ognosky spoke highly of him, and stated that he had done an outstanding job.

Margarety Plauny had announced her resignation for the purposes of retirement. Mr. Ognosky spoke highly of Ms. Plauny, stating that she would be missed and had done an outstanding job for the district at Lathrop Street.

A list of 2012 students was submitted for graduation, with 144 students on it.

An alteration to the year's schedule was motioned. June 6th would be the last day of school for students, and June 7th would be an in-service day. Both the sixth and fifth would be half days. Graduation was set for Saturday June 9th one motion later.

During the administrator's reports, Mr. Owens discussed work on a couple of server technologies, which, he said, would help the district do more with less. He had submitted the technology plan to PDE, and had an issue with air conditioning which was currently being worked upon.

Mr. McComb spoke about scheduled field days. Other scheduled activities included kindergarten orientation and the sixth grade send off. Currently there were scheduled to be 33 incoming kindergarten students. Representative Major had been to Choconut the morning of the meeting to recognize the achieving archery students.

Mr. Tallarico handed out copies of the end of the year events at the secondary school. He stated that the prom had gone very well, and the students had behaved in an outstanding manner. Representative Majors was to attend at the High School to hand out citations for the archery program participants at that level as well. He publicly thanked Mrs. Fisher for her work on the graduation projects. Also, he thanked the adviser of the Meteor Chronicle publication had received an award, and was slated to be honored at the June meeting.

Dr. Golden spoke about some of the Life Skills students attending a prom at Lackawanna Trail. The event had received news coverage. It was scheduled to be repeated the following year. Dr. Golden spoke highly of the event. Ninety eight percent of IEPs were completed, and he opined explained that the manner of the process this year, spreading them out across the year had gone well.

Dr. Golden also said that Ms. Plauny was one of the strongest educators they had, speaking very highly of her. This coming year the district was going to undergo cyclical monitoring, as since the correctional facility was within district bounds it had to service inmates between the ages of 18 and 21 with ieps.

Mr. Ognosky provided an update on the current budget process. Currently the preliminary budget was set at the 23 million dollar expenditure number mentioned above. What that preliminary budget number did was allowed them to put the budget on public display until it was to be approved in June. At the time of the meeting there was a deficit of $341,723, down from 1.2 million deficit when it began. That did not reflect any additional revenue, including revenue which might come about as a result of gas lease, millage increase or legislation. Mr. Ognosky had spoken with Representative Major and Representative Pickett regarding budget issues and charter legislation. Ms. Major seemed optimistic that the charter inequality might be addressed, he reported. The preliminary budget included 1 less librarian at the elementary school and 1 less social studies position, which was the reduction of one long term substitute. The district was continually, with each retirement, considering its options before moving forward with a recommendation. The preliminary budget did include all of the bidding for services which were approved at the meeting. There was also a resignation in the technology department and a retirement from the custodial staff, which were not to be replaced. The district had worked very hard on the expenditure side over the last four of five years, Mr. Ognosky said, and the budget was lower than it had been.

Representatives of the district had met with representatives of Leatherstocking, and the PUC had given that company the opportunity to explore bringing gas lines through part of Susquehanna County. The district had sat through a presentation of about 45 minutes and felt it was something that the entire board ought to hear. Mr. Ognosky felt that it represented an opportunity. Mr. Gow expanded on this, stating how great the savings could be. To convert the boilers might be $10,000 per unit in the two buildings. If the district came on board with this, it could have an opportunity to bring savings to a portion of the people who paid taxes to the district. That was to be a public meeting the following Monday night.

Don Shibley was absent from the May New Milford Township meeting, which otherwise proceeded as normal. At the past meeting there had been questions regarding the concrete floor. That was presumed on prevailing wages, and it was not necessary to pay prevailing wages if it was under $25,000 and if the township was not doing 50% of the work itself. All bids had   then been rejected, and the work rebid. D&H Construction set out a bid for $9,100, and a bid at $11,820 came in from RGL of Binghamton. By law, Mr. Hunter stated that the supervisors had to take the low bid. D&H was then accepted.

The supervisors had decided to try and trade their old roller in to get a new one. The bid was put out for a 2008 or newer bid with a full cab.

Resolution 051812 was adopted, to amend the fee schedule for Ordinance 07122000-2, which had to do with licensing and registration of sexually oriented businesses. Mr. Hunter said that the ordinance should not allow that within the township bounds anyway. Just in case however, this amendment would set fees of $1,000 for application/investigation, $500 for license   issuance, and $500 for annual renewal.

Tri-City Highway Products was putting in a crusher up at the Onyon quarry. This was notifification of a General Operating Permit for portable Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plant and General Operating Permit for Diesel, or No. 2 Fuel Fired Internal Combustion Engines.

Southwest had given notice of intent for consumptive water use permits for: Humbert III Pads 8 and 9, Wisler Pad 38 (formerly Scarlet Oaks Pad). Also, notice of intent had been given for Erosion and Sediment Ground Control Permits for pad 24 Woosman on Rt. 492, Pad 34 on Mitchell Hill, and Pad 53 Harris Tingley Lake.

A visitor asked if they recycled the water which was brought in. Mr. Hunter said that some of the companies had, but that he did not know what Southwest would do.

The visitor asked what they did with the water which was hauled away. Mr. Hunter did not know.

Bluestone notification of intention had also been received. Mr. Hunter said that they changed all the time, so nothing was in granite, but supposedly the Bluestone Pipeline was to be 13 miles long, begun 1.5 miles south of New Milford and brought to a terminus 2 miles NE of Hop Bottom. Supposedly work was to begin soon.

Other intentions included 1381 feet of lateral 16' and 8' pipeline at Pad 22 Nichols on Sutton Rd. (Susquehanna Gathering). Also 1,110 feet of lateral 16' and 8' pipeline at pad 27 Skelly on Rice Rd. Finally, 2.8 miles of 16' and 12' pipeline was planned from Jackson Township pad 15 to the Bluestone line on the Brushville road. The pad was actually in Jackson Township. All of these were the intentions of Susquehanna Gathering.

Pad 14 was not actually in yet. Basically they were applying for pipeline right of way.

The Susquehanna County Commissioners announce the Courthouse will be closed on Monday, May 28, 2012 in observance of Memorial Day. All court related offices will be available.

Lengthy by some standards, the Forest City Regional business meeting held May 14 began with the recognition of several students, including Outstanding Seniors Sarah Kubus and Dylan Walsh. Kubus was described as a “go-getter,” and a determined physics student who is “very excited about going to college.” For her senior project, Kubus raised five hundred dollars for the FCR band and chorus program through a concert, followed by a fundraiser at Old Home Week. Walsh was described as “hard-working,” as well as a “good friend to the students” and a “valuable asset to Forest City.” As his graduation project, he assisted in painting the facilities at Kennedy Park.

Will Jonas and Gregory Kowaleski were then recognized for having been winners in the Chesapeake Leadership Award contest. As recipients, both boys earned refurbished computers for FCR, and Kowaleski was chosen at random to receive a laptop computer.

A Citizenship Award was presented to Sarah Stephens for faithfully assisting a special needs student during the eighth grade field trip to Washington, D.C.

Next, Kathleen Seifried and superintendent John Kopicki provided a presentation on the 2012-2013 tentative budget for FCR, noting that the information had also been presented at the May 7 work session. In terms of expenditure reductions, spending on supplies is to be decreased by $25,000, and five positions at the school likely will be eliminated through attrition. Furthermore, athletic salaries and health insurance costs will be reduced.

Program improvements will include a full time technology coach, as well as supplies and training for new Advanced Placement courses and Project Lead the Way courses. Additionally, a new hire may be made for the continuation of the industrial arts program.

Currently, the tentative budget is set at $12,553,286. Federal, state and local revenue projections indicate that the school can expect to see a deficit of $178,284. Seifried stated that the board would have to continue “whittling away at those expenditures.”

During the superintendent’s report, Kopicki commended the FCR students on their behavior during events such as prom and the Washington, D.C. trip, calling it a “credit to parents, students and teachers.”

Kopicki thanked the individuals developing the FCR anti-bullying program, reporting, “They’re making a lot of great progress.” The program is expected to be in effect by January, 2013.

It was noted that all FCR students attending the Pennsylvania Junior Academy State Competition placed first. The event had been held that day at Penn State, Main Campus.

Elementary principal Kenneth Swartz was then invited to present on the sixth grade science camp, which was held May 9 and 10 at Camp Watonka. Swartz described the event as a “wonderful experience” and thanked the participating adults. He noted that all fifty-five sixth graders attended, participating in events such as GPS, orienteering and digital photography.

Next, Kopicki recognized Denise Bolcavage for receiving a place among the thirteen semi-finalists in the 2013 Teacher of the Year contest, a state-wide competition encompassing the five hundred school districts in Pennsylvania.

In presenting Bolcavage with a certificate of recognition, Kopicki commented that the placement was an “incredible feather in the cap for the district.” He also told Bolcavage, “[It is] no surprise that the recognition has come to you.”

Bolcavage then thanked her colleagues, stating, “We are a small school, but we are an effective school. …Everything that we’re doing is what we should be doing.” She added that perhaps the recognition would result in financial incentives for the district.

One board member announced to Bolcavage, “[You are] Teacher of the Year in my book, all the time,” explaining that Bolcavage had spent years dedicatedly tutoring his son, who faced both autism and cancer.

Before ending the meeting, it was announced that the next regular business meeting will held June 18 at 7:30 p.m.
