| I am the mother of 3 teenagers. They all attend Pocono Mountain Schools. They are in grades 12, 9, 7C. I attended last nights redistricting meeting at Intermediate School South. I was quite amazed at the small turn out less than 100 people in a district that educates over 10,500 students. I guess the rest of you felt - "They are going to do what they want anyway" So why bother! I agree but still I have attended the the last 2 board meetings. We as parents have allot of issues here that require Our attention. After the meeting last night there were still people unhappy with their plan. I for one live in Pocono Country Place & I'm worried about spliting up P.C.P. I feel this will further divide our unity we have tried to develop, despite the cultural/scio-economic diversity. According to our Dr.Krauser there are provissions for expanding the district but we are totally unable to develop another one! Monroe County has only 4 school districts! Our area has the most number of students,Bethlehem is the only other one comming close. Northampton County has 6! Wouldn't it seem more practical (economically speaking)to ask the Commonwealth. I must say as a parent I am very proud of all the degreed people serving our community-but the basic lack of services up here is distressing! I furthermore feel a police station is a wonderful idea as long as it isn't placed too closely to any one school. These past two weeks have been very hard all the bomb threats at Intermediate North are wearing on my nerves!!!I have teaching experience as well as PTA leadership experience & I feel very strongly this area needs a national PTA run by people that spend more time with their kids than they do. The town of Northampton and Scranton are the closest areas belonging to the National PTA. Those of you interested in participation in this organization can contact me by phone-if I'm not on line- (570)894-0511 or email me. |
