East Penn board pulls Communities In Schools agreement after coordinator resignation
Summary
The board removed the Communities In Schools agreement from tonight's agenda after the superintendent reported a CIS coordinator at one of two served schools resigned; the district will evaluate staffing options before proceeding.
Superintendent Dr. Campbell announced the Communities In Schools (CIS) agreement would be pulled from the Aug. 24 agenda after the district learned that a CIS coordinator at one of the two schools served had resigned earlier that day.
"We became aware that 1 of the CIS coordinators, at 1 of our 2 schools served is, leaving CIS and has resigned," Dr. Campbell said, explaining the administration wants time to "do our due diligence" and consult with schools and community stakeholders about whether the role should continue to be filled by CIS or be a district position such as a student-supports coordinator. The board then moved to approve the remaining contracts and agreements and put the CIS agreement aside for additional review.
