Susquehanna Community School District rates in the middle of the pack among county elementary schools. Her high school rates second in the county, with only Montrose a notch higher in academics. Those were the results presented by Superintendent Bronson Stone at SCSD School Board Director’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, October 16th. The Pennsylvania School Performance Profile (SPP) rates the academic quality of public schools across the Commonwealth via criteria established by the PA Department of Education. Superintendent Stone presented a slide show on the schools’ profiles at the board’s work session an evening earlier, and he offered that detailed information was available at the district’s website, www.scshools.org, as well as at www.paschoolperformance.org.

Jack Conroy was absent from the October 16th meeting of the New Milford township supervisors. The remaining two supervisors carried on the business.

Mr. Hunter explained that the township had upgraded one of its pickups, and was selling one of the old ‘92 trucks. They were looking to receive $800, or a best offer.

Mr. Hunter explained that out at the Gibson exit, where the truck stop was, there must have been a fuel leak quite some time ago. A company was in the process of venting it out, and they needed to put three phase electric in, and desired to put a pole in the township right of way. However, if something was put in the township right of way the township would be liable if someone got hurt. Thus the solicitor had drafted a legal agreement, which would absolve the township of potential liability (and the insurance would be taken care of by the company). It would be a temporary pole. The supervisors signed and made a motion to approve the agreement.
