Board members received several school-program updates, including the start of a PBIS initiative at RESN, a middle-school STEM collaboration, and news about the district spring musical.
Staff reported that students at RESN rotated through stations to learn expectations for respect, accountability, motivation and safety, and that each student earned a first medal with tokens to be collected throughout the year; students who complete all four expectations will be featured on a "Walk of Fame." The high school’s lighthouse team led a pep rally at RESN, which district staff said boosted participation.
At the middle school, Mrs. Petrovich was credited with coordinating a collaboration with EQT and Penn State to offer STEM programs; the board was told more information is available on the district website. District staff also announced the spring musical, billed as a comedy called Disaster, produced by staff including Ms. Bridal D'Amour and Ms. Mason and scheduled for the spring season.
These program updates were presented as reports to the board; no formal actions were taken during the announcements.
