New year for Pocono Mtn. School Board

by Pat Albano

Pocono Mountain School Board held its first meeting of the new year January 11.

Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Robison highlighted students who participated at Marywood University and at a leadership conference in Hershey. She also acknowl- edged the West High School Cheer Team District 11 win.

Robison recognized Swiftwater Elementary students who participated in a wellness program for grades 4-6, and Intermediate School participation in “High-Five” Friday - which attempts to “get elementary students excited about learning.” Also mentioned was Swiftwater Elementary’s “face-off” with students participating against teachers.

Robison concluded her report by praising Financial Officer Joseph Colozza, who has been nominated for an 8th consecutive award in financial reporting, stating, “This is the highest form of achievement in governmental accounting.”

The board was entertained with presentations of “Auntie Clause’s Closet,” a program where students collect new or gently used items, and use school currency to purchase as well as earn rewards. Students were on hand to share gifts purchased for family members at Christmas. Items are gathered throughout the year. The theme for students is to learn that the holidays are a time of giving, not just receiving. Board members were asked to volunteer next year. Each student received a certificate for their contribution.

Another presentation centered on the PA Seal of Bi-literacy created by teachers to promote civic and global engagement. This program is open to any student but primarily seniors. Participants must show proficiency in English and one world language upon graduation. All recipients receive notation on transcripts, and anyone interested should contact their school counselor. Director Ronald Byrd asked, “Why not offer this opportunity at the elementary level?” while another board member asked whether sign language was accepted and was told yes.

The board discussed updates to the ventilator project, as well as the West High School’s chiller replacement projected to cost $5.3 million, if approved. Director Rusty Johnson made a motion to approve now, which passed unanimously.

Financial Director Colozza presented a detailed budget analysis with a projected July 2023 budget of $7,220,000 and a projected fund balance of $7,435, 000 through June 2024.

State Representative Maureen Madden was on hand to address the board, acknowledging that Republicans and Democrats are very close in budget numbers adding, “We all have to work together, and I am feeling good about the budget and school funding.” She added, “Governor Shapiro will be more supportive on cyber-charter school than Governor Wolf was.”

Questions from residents again centered on Pocono Elementary Center and potential usage for the community. One resident thought the building was dormant, but Johnson explained that is not the case. “There are times during the week athletes use the building as well as the Toys for Tots’ program—there are a lot of moving parts.”

Representative Madden added, “ I am excited to work with Pocono Township and the school district. I am impressed with this township, and I encourage, both the school district and Pocono Township to have a conversation and work together on disposition of Pocono Elementary Center.”
