Workshop roundup: WAVE tuition, curriculum rollouts, advisory committees and outside reports
Summary
Elizabethtown Area School District’s Feb. 11 workshop included routine reports: a WAVE tuition report slated for future action, a fourth‑grade ELA/social studies rollout next year, CTE advisory committee appointments, and outside partner updates from IU13 and area technical centers.
Elizabethtown Area School District’s Feb. 11 workshop included several informational items and outside partnership reports.
Why it matters: these routine items shape curriculum timelines, advisory input, partnership support, and upcoming board votes.
Key points - WAVE tuition report: Administration said the report includes student information and will be on the next meeting agenda for the board to vote whether to accept it; student‑specific details are withheld for privacy. - Curriculum: the board received fourth‑grade ELA/social studies guides; fourth grade materials will roll out next year and fifth grade the following year. Administrators said fourth grade teachers have already received books and training this year. - Career and Technical Education (CTE) local advisory committee: members were selected from industry individuals who expressed interest at a Chamber of Commerce meeting; the committee includes members with agricultural and restaurant backgrounds and others who support internships and work‑based learning. Administration said the group must convene before April to meet PDE compliance requirements. - Lancaster County Technical Center and LCA: regional partners reported enrollment updates and class planning; LCA (alternative/charter program) has expansion and Chromebook purchases planned and is operating below capacity with room to grow. - IU13 update: regional intermediate unit reported a clean audit for IU services, new early childhood contracts and upcoming professional development days; IU13 highlighted outreach partnerships such as clothing closets and community programs. - Education Foundation: a $13,000 donation toward the playground project arrived and the foundation will begin work on student scholarships; next meeting March 4.
Closing note: most items were informational and will return to the board for action as required (WAVE acceptance, curriculum approvals, committee meeting scheduling and possible votes).
