As had become established practice, the beginning of the Mountain View School Board meeting held a section for acknowledgment of student success. Those to be honored that evening, though several of the students were not present, were: CTC National Honor Society members: Kelly Baker, Brett Crowley, Sydney Miller, Trevor Mills, and Tim Van Vleck. Also acknowledged were two students, Natalia Parjane and Stephanie Ostir, who were participating in the Hugh O'Brian Student Leadership program (HOBY). Mr. Richmond asked what this was, and it was responded that it was a youth organization where the students would be meeting people from the government and learning about the government.

Brandon Hawm, the Student Government Liaison, presented his report or outlined the activities of various other groups. Mr. Hawm attended the meeting still dressed in his baseball uniform. The team had beaten Lackawanna Trail 8 to 2.

The Student Government Association (SGA) was having its second year in a row getting the gold level for the national Council of Excellence. The Friday after the meeting, the SGA was also scheduled to attend Hanover Area for the District Conference, at which they had students leading workshops. The 2015 District Conference was scheduled to be held at Mountain View.

The FBLA had held Easter Basket Raffles and brought two students to State Competition. SADD planned to perform seat belt checks, holding a mock car crash, and writing safe driving messages in sidewalk chalk. The Junior Honor Society had been a big help to SGA in preparation for Educator Appreciation week. Scholastics was to attend NEIU to receive an award for placing third in the WVIA competition. There were 47 teams to be participating on the track for Relay For Life. They were going to sell shirts, etc. to raise money for this event as well. The baseball team had lost only one game, at the beginning of the season, to the same team they beat that day. The softball team had only lost one game as well. Volleyball was 8 and 2 and they were having a good season; Mr. Hawn called the games awesome. He also stated that track had a lot of great athletes out there.

There was then a presentation on the PAC District IX Conference, by members of the Student Government. The students introduced themselves, and explained that Mountain View was to host the district conference in 2015, the following spring. The purpose of the conference was to bring together the leaders of the school for a day of individual and council growth. Mountain View was part of District 9, which included, the students said, the schools they played sports with and a little farther. Mountain View had hosted the event twice before in recent history. The event was tentatively scheduled for the end of March, but they had to work around PSSA testing. The event was to be held during the school day, with a similar schedule to when it was hosted in 2009. The visiting students from other schools would be there at the same time as Mountain View's students. In this manner, they would likely be more than doubling the school's population for that day. They would need the auditorium, certain classrooms, the library, the family and consumer sciences room (to feed the advisers), potentially use of the music wing, and for the cafeteria to double the food for the day. They would need other clubs to plan events for MVSD students, when other students needed the classrooms. Mrs. Aherne confirmed that the entire event was done in one day. Mr. Stoddard asked how many visitors they were expecting. She responded that they were estimating between 600 and 700 students, plus 100 advisers. Their goal was to fill the auditorium. Mr. Presley said that, as the high school principal, he was in full support of this happening. He commended the SGA. Mrs. Aten said that when they did it in 2009, board support and assistance was vital in some areas,and she was hoping that the board would support it again. Mrs. Aherne told the students they made a good presentation, and various people thanked them.

Mr. Soya and Mr. Georgetti presented the IT Department budget. There had been a request, they noted, to have a second lab, a laptop lab, in the library. Mr. Regesky felt he could do a decent job of managing that lab within the library. Mr. Stoddard asked how many computers they were talking, and it was responded that there would be thirty. The existing lab was regularly booked. They were also looking to replace eight laptop carts, which had been purchased with the Classrooms for the Future grant. They had done what they could to keep them running over the six years, but they were getting old and the carts were breaking. Mr. Stoddard thought that it seemed like a high price- $17,000 a piece. It was responded that this price was for the carts and thirty laptops a piece- Mr. Stoddard hadn't realized it included the computers. The other area they wanted to address was the high school graphics computer lab, which hadn't been touched in about seven years. That was where they did the 3d graphics, modeling, vinyl cutting, etc.

The IT department was also looking to add a laptop computer lab at the elementary building, as Foresight testing and some other testing were moving online. At the elementary they didn't have the capability to do this at this time. The existing lab was used every period of the day. Additionally, the Northeast Online Learning Association laptops, used with V-Linc, were donated, but they were also about 7 years old. Some had been upgraded but others had not.

The representatives also asked the board if they might be able to get some summer part-time help for this year, as the year previous it had been a great help. If they were able to get this, the plan would be to open all of the computers and blow the dust out of them. The desktops were about two years old and were probably filthy inside, they stated.

Ms. Kelly was the next to speak, presenting the elementary budget. For the most part this was to stay somewhat status same. There was an increase for an elementary math textbook series. She said that they needed to replace the textbook series for K through 6 to align with common core. They wanted sixth grade to adopt whatever seventh and eighth were adopting, for a smooth transition.

Mr. Presley presented the athletics budget. He said that certain things were going to need to be replaced, so there would be an increase. There were other things they would like to change. For instance, they were one of the only schools that didn't have a larger tent to get under for track, cross country, and soccer. There was also no PA system out at the stadium, and they needed to two soccer goals. The volleyball protective mats definitely needed to be replaced. The high jump pit could be replaced- the cover wasn't good, the foam was starting to come apart, and the standards didn't tighten down very well. The whole kit cost about $7,000.

Mr. Patchcoski was the last to present a budget that evening, giving the business office budget. This too saw an increase, partially due to the amount of advertising needing to be done.

Mr. Twining said he was very concerned as regarded the NEIU contract his year. It was similar to previous years; they hadn't received a lot of information over the last couple of months regarding what would be the cost for services. For that reason, he said, he wasn't supporting it. Mr. Stoddard explained that they had just gotten the numbers, he didn't know why but it had taken them over two months to get them. They wanted the district to sign it based on what they expected it to be, and then there were changes at the end. Mrs. Stine and Dr. Plonski-Sezer said that they thought they should look at it more closely prior to agreeing to it. Mr. Twining said he was in support of the kids getting the services they needed, but the board also had an obligation to the taxpayers. Mr. Stoddard noted that if it wasn't passed by May 1st they would have to live under the agreement they had the previous year. It would automatically renew the same contract, and if they needed extra they might not get it or they might be charged for it. Mr. Stoddard said that there didn't seem to be a valid reason why the district hadn't been given the numbers earlier. Ms. Wnorowsky noted that they were made aware in March of the needs. The contract worked such that the district paid a portion, and then there was a reworked amount in the summer. Based on this the district would be asked for either additional payment or they would get a credit at the end of the year. Mr. Twining opined that they shouldn't allow them to set the district up in that manner- they should pinpoint a cost and that was what it would be. Mr. Stoddard suggested that if the board approved the existing contract, they should perhaps send along a strongly worded letter that they didn't appreciate being put up against it in that manner, that they didn't appreciate not receiving the information sooner after asking for it for two months. Mrs. Stine agreed with this. In the end they did vote on the contract, and it passed, though Mrs. Aherne and Mr. Twining voted against it.

The Nonschool Organizations/Groups/Individuals-Community policy was given second reading, having been changed to include a statement that it applied to groups without prior approval of the superintendent or his or her designated person. Also, the policy on scholarships had been amended to include a statement about it excluding private scholarships. Both of these changes were in response to questions asked at a previous meeting.

A resolution opposing restricting federal medical assistance reimbursement was made and approved.

During Mr. Taylors report, he noted that the district had burned 1,405 tons of wood chips that winter, at a cost of about $56,000 in total. That would have been equivalent to $348,0090 worth of fuel oil had the district used it instead. He also related that the ball fields were up and mowing, and that they had begun mowing some of the lawns.

Mr. Twining asked if everybody had the appropriate training to monitor the security system. Mr. Taylor responded that what they had was an alarm system, and that if an alarm went off they called either a custodian or Mr. Barbolish to investigate. Mr. Twining asked if everyone understood this procedure. It was responded that alarms were reported every day. There was a discussion of issues with the alarm system, including one door which sounded an alarm regularly despite being closed and locked. The administration had been working with the alarm company on this, and was to continue to do so.

During his report, Mr. Presley spoke of finishing the eighth grade section of the PSSA Science exams, and starting into the Keystone exams. Arts Alive, he noted, was scheduled for the following evening from six to nine.

He passed around a flier regarding what summer school program would look like, and a Strategies for Success program at the middle school level. Mr. Richmond asked how soon they needed to vote on it in order for him to do it. Mr. Presley said that he needed to know if the board would be interested, to put it out to educators, etc. He did have three instructors at that time that were willing to do it. Mrs. Stine, Dr. Plonskij-Sezer, and Mrs. Aherne all were in favor of doing it. The question was broached as to whether or not they would offer it to outside students. It was suggested that they could see if there would be interest from other districts. Mr. Presley didn't think they would sustain it on their own; he thought they would take a loss. Mr. Richmond thought they should put feelers out regarding interest. Mrs. Aherne pointed out that making it available to others might help with parental schedules, and a comment by Mr. Richmond brought to attention the fact that having students from other schools could drive down the cost for Mountain View students.

Ms. Wnorowsky spoke of the Special Olympics, speaking positively of it.

During the second hearing of visitors a visitor, a car contractor and mother, spoke up stating that she had some concerns about the cafeteria. Students who came through the lines without funds, made it all the way to the end of the line with a hot lunch and then had it taken away. These students had to get a cold sandwich, and then the hot food was thrown away. She said that she knew it was difficult, but she didn't know why they would throw the food away. She asked if there was maybe a way to have an additional employee for lthree hours, to make sure that students got in the right line in the first place. She didn't know if there was a different option for those kids so that they wouldn't have to go through the line, have the food thrown away, and then be given more food.

Mr. Richmond asked how many times they had to be behind for this to happen. The visitor didn't know, but she said that in her experience an account default notification came on a little blue strip, not a full sheet of paper, and these strips might not make it home. There was also a monthly report, it was pointed out. Mr. Stoddard said that this was an administrative issue, and he thought it should be tracked so that if a child came through with no money they should give them the lunch and then try to make contact with the parents to bring the fund up. Mrs. Stine felt that if the child had already been given the lunch, they should not have it taken away, saying that it was bad to do so. She asked Mr. Patchcoski to address the matter. He explained that the school did have a Peanut Butter policy, where every child was given a lunch but students with delinquent accounts were given either a peanut butter or a cheese sandwich as their main dish. There was a very large deficit. Account status was checked at the end of the line. He stated that there needed to be a control, and that the control maybe needed to be moved to the start of the line. They did send out statements in the rooms, to be taken home at various levels of money being in the account. There was also the monthly statements which went home every month. Statements were sent in the mail, up to $25 delinquent. He asserted that every child was fed; they would at least get a peanut butter sandwich. The throwing away of food, he suggested, could be due to misinformation. They had to have restrictions, however. Mr. Richmond said he didn't know how it was saving money if the food was being thrown away, and Mr. Patchcoski agreed that this shouldn't be happening. This issue mostly came up at the elementary school. Mr. Patchcoski asked if staff could have lists of delinquent students and put them in separate lines. Ms. Kelly had a few concerns with this, saying that putting students in separate lines could attach a stigma to some kids, and she wasn't certain if financial information should be widely distributed among staff. Mrs. Stine didn't think it should be the educators, it should be the Nutrition Group. Mrs. Aherne asserted that the main thing was that they did not want the lunches thrown out. A visitor suggested that maybe someone should speak to someone on the PTA about making a scholarship fund, as especially young children needed their nutrition. It was wondered why the Nutrition Group wasn't making a phone call to parents, and suggested that they meet again with the Nutrition Group. Ms. Kelly pointed out that her daughter's school used the one call system to place calls to parents with delinquent accounts, and it was suggested Mountain View could do this to ensure they received notification.

A worker said that this had been happening since she worked there. Mrs. Stine said that Mr. Pathchoski needed to tell someone that it needed to stop. He agreed that it did need to stop. The board liked the one call idea, and the idea of no longer taking food away. There was also talk of the CARE fund, which had been depleted. It was suggested perhaps that they could seek donations to replenish the fund, to pay for lunches for students in need. Mr. Presley also said that they should encourage them to do the free and reduced lunch.

Another mother spoke up, saying that on April 17th her daughter had been left behind at the school for the second time. She hadn't known this until her son got on the bus at the secondary school and informed her that his sister wasn't there. She hadn't known where her daughter was for 25 minutes. Ms. Kelly said that the school had put some measures in place since then. That had occurred during the second incident, she explained. Was that because the child's bus was late? The instructor head the announcement and took the child to the gym, putting her in the line for the missing bus. The student had gone to sit off to the side, where the picked up students sat. All of the buses went through before the students signed out. She said that they had spoken with transportation to ask them to make sure the drivers called the school directly if they were to be late, rather than calling other drivers. This would solve issues as it would allow them to take the students directly from class. The instructors of the young students would walk them where they needed to go. In this instance she hadn't known the driver hadn't told them that the other driver would be late until he had arrived at the district. Earlier notice would allow them to pull the students from class before they went into the hall. Ms. Kelly maintained that the girl wasn't really left; she was with staff the entire time. The mother was looking for reassurance that this would not happen again. When Ms. Kelly said that staff saw the girl, the dad said that there should have been an adult present making sure that the students were in the right spot, and putting them there.

Ms. Kelly said that she had talked with the staff. She thought in that situation they did the best they could. There were things in place to deal with a similar situation. Mrs. Stine said that she, as a parent, would be stricken if this happened. Ms. Kelly said that she was a parent too, and understood. Mr. Stoddard asked if the parents were satisfied that the district had put things in place to try to keep it from happening again. The parents said that they understood this. They had said that they would bring it up before the board, and Ms. Kelly had told them to do so. She said, that evening, that she did not want to discourage parents from bringing things before the board.

For the past several years the Blue Ridge food service operation has provided free meals to people participating in summer programs at the schools under a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  It has always been a resounding success and now it will be promoted at county libraries.  Participants will still need to come to the Blue Ridge campus to take part, but Blue Ridge School Board president Laurie Brown-Bonner wants to see if there are ways to make the food available more broadly.  Superintendent Robert McTiernan said there are regulations about food preparation and storage – temperatures for hot food, for example – but he said he would look into it further.

This was one of the topics at the table during the School Board’s lightly attended workshop on April 28th.  Ms. Brown-Bonner also ran through many of the agenda items expected to be presented at the business meeting a week hence.

The single item of most interest at the moment seems to be the replacement of an aide on one of the pre-K bus routes who resigned recently.  Such aides are not required, but there had been 2 of these positions, hired by the bus contractor.  Some parents would like the open position filled.  The question then became, by whom?  Board member Shane Rumage suggested that bus aides should be properly vetted and employed by the school district.  Mr. McTiernan assured members that these people are carefully selected, but promised to look into the issue further, noting that he has had discussions with bus contractors on the matter.

The superintendent has also been studying the request of a senior-citizen housing project in Hallstead for relief of property taxes by offering a 20% payment “in lieu of” taxes.  He showed a large document he received from the county that he said he has not yet had time to digest.

Ms. Brown-Bonner reported that 4 students have so far submitted requests for assistance with summer programs.  The Board has allocated $1,500 to be disbursed among such requests.

Her Fundraising Committee is preparing for the upcoming golf tournament on May 10.  She said that only 12 teams have signed up so far, although sponsorship seems to be in good shape.  High School Principal Matthew Nebzydoski said that the application process is under way for scholarships offered by the committee.  How much money will be available won’t be known for sure until after the tournament.

Harold Empett’s Facilities & Grounds Committee reported progress on a number of items.  The project to replace the steps down to the track is under way, with some modifications to the specifications to control costs.  A project to examine the roof systems in detail is also under way.  Maintenance Supervisor Kevin Price reported to the committee that the second year of the energy-savings program initiated with Johnson Controls seems to be showing even greater savings than originally projected, by more than $16,000 last year.  And even considering the relatively severe (and long) winter season, only 142 tons of additional wood chips were purchased, and no heating oil was needed.  He reported that the campus’s ballfields are ready to go.

Ms. Brown-Bonner reported that the Board had met in executive session to discuss a number of topics, including the transportation contract and a retirement incentive program.  She also noted that the Board will meet twice in May on negotiations with the teachers on a new contract.

In the meantime, the Board will hold a special meeting to review the budget proposal for the next fiscal year from the business office on May 12 beginning at 6:00pm.  Business Manager Penny Greene said that the final budget will be formally offered to the public at the Board meeting on May 27, for final adoption on June 30.

The next scheduled meeting of the Blue Ridge School Board, a business session, will begin at 7:00pm on Monday, May 5, before you read this.  There may be some leftover cupcakes.

On the 1st of May, Great Bend Borough held their monthly meeting. All members of the Council were in attendance except for Bret Jennings. Also present were Police Chief Jon Record, two Police Officers that would later be sworn in, Matthew Granick and Gordon Demming, and also two members of the public. 

Pictured are Officer Matthew Granick, Police Chief Jon Record, and Officer Gordon Demming, Jr., following being sworn into the Great Bend Borough Police Department on May 1st. Photo courtesy of Great Bend Borough Police Department.

The meeting began with Mr. Mitchell Dossey, from Kingfisher Exploration. Mr. Dossey was in attendance to seek approval from the Council to conduct a 3-D seismic survey within the Borough.  He explained that the sensors would be placed along the tree lines, or outskirts of public parks and would not interfere with play or parking. At last month’s meeting, the Council gave a list of items that were necessary for their approval and requested Mr. Dossey provide these materials at this month’s meeting. Upon fulfilling this request at this May 1st meeting, the Council signed the agreement.

Mr. Dossey also had another request of the Borough at the meeting, that they be able to use vibration trucks on the Borough roads. Council member Jerry MacConnell expressed concern over this, stating that the pipes beneath are old and could potentially be damaged. Mr. Dossey reassured the Council that if any damage were to occur, it would be covered by their insurance and repaired. Council Member Mike Crook then asked whether or not they would be provided with a map before hand and discuss the specific roads, as he was not aware of whether of not residents would be okay with these trucks being on their streets. Having said that, the Council is awaiting a list of specific streets for use by the vibration truck.

Following the discussion of ongoing roadwork on Carroll Street and Maple Street and also Mountain Vista Lane and Orchard Road, several water issues were discussed. The water at Mr. Rumage’s, Mr. Kaminsky’s, and an issue near Williams and Franklin Street was a large topic of discussion, as the Council discussed various ways these issues could be resolved in an effective matter.

The Council also discussed the merry-go-round that was in need of being replaced. After finding no used merry-go-round, the Council made a motion to purchase a new ten foot merry-go-round, as Council member Jerry MacConnell noted that the small children very much enjoy this piece of playground equipment and therefore, it should be replaced within a reasonable time.

Council Member Sheila Guinan also made note that the Borough was in need of a permit for their newly purchased structure. They also discussed various foundations for the building, as the permit requires engineering and foundation plans. It was decided that the Borough would go ahead and acquire said plans.

Following this, Police Chief Jon Record took the floor in giving the Great Bend Police Report. This report consisted of seven traffic citations and twenty-one traffic warnings. There were two arrests made, one for a DUI and another, which involved the arrest of a Wanted Person with a felony warrant for burglary, who has been on the run for roughly two years. Mayor Jim Reicke inquired as to whether or not the traffic warnings were issued due to running stop signs or other illegal driving activities. Mr. Record stated that the traffic warnings were mostly relating to headlights out and/or various repairs and that citations would have been issued to those running stop signs. On the subject of stop signs, Council Member Jerry MacConnell wanted to make note that Police vehicles parked in town as of late were not focusing on businesses, but those running stop signs as it seems to have become an issue within the Borough.

Police Chief Record also wanted to note that eleven pounds of unused prescription drugs were collected on the April 26th, Drug Take Back at the Great Bend Police Station, which is a more than a satisfactory amount.

Chief Record stated that Officer Daniel J.J. Lomax will be on the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. He also wanted to thank Chief Paul Lucas from Forest City Police Department for his work on this particular matter.

Also notably, the Victims Compensation Assistance Program of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency recognized Great Bend Police Department for their “prompt reporting” to the state for victims of crime. Of 614 Departments, Great Bend Borough Police Department was one of the only 338 that consistently responded to requests throughout the year in an average of fifteen days or less. This allows the process to move more swiftly and effectively in getting the needed financial assistance to victims of crimes and their families.

Following Chief Record’s monthly Police Department Report, the time came to swear in two new Police Officers to Great Bend Police Department. Mr. Matthew Granick and Gordon Demming, Jr., of Forest City, were sworn in by Solicitor Francis X. O’Connor and with Mayor Jim Riecke.

Following the Officers being sworn in, the Council then moved to the Communication and Correspondence section of the Agenda. This consisted of some “FYI” rather than discussions. The Susquehanna County Housing and Redevelopment Authority sent the 2014 Application for the Community Development Block Grant. Also noted was that the Borough’s Liquid Fuels Audit Report for the period of January 1, 2011-December 31, 2012 was received and H&R Block completed the Annual 2013 Audit.

Also, the Great Bend Hallstead Volunteer Ambulance, Inc., is holding a Dedication Ceremony and Grand Opening on the 18th of May, from noon until three p.m. Those who wish to attend should RSVP by the 10th of May.

In a letter of Correspondence received by the Borough, Commissioner Alan Hall wished to open a formal line of correspondence between the Borough and the County, which would allow for quicker and efficient resolutions, specifically regarding state roads and bridges that are in need of repair. Commissioner Hall requested that the Borough send a monthly letter or report of roads, bridges and other issues to be communicated to the County.

On a final note for the meeting, it was brought to the attention of the Borough Council by Council Member Guinan that it seems there is a thief, whose identity may be known, coming in at unsuspecting times and taking items from the Area Agency on Aging, including canned goods and other items. On this note, it was agreed that the locks on the building would be changed to prevent further theft.

In closing, the public should be reminded that Great Bend Borough’s Monthly meeting would be rescheduled and held on Wednesday, June 11th at 7 PM.
