Dec. BOE Meeting Highlights
New high school courses, a new food services manager, and new programs at Regional Day School were among the items discussed at the December 21, 2011 meeting of the Manchester Township Board of Education. New Courses at HS Alex George, Principal of Manchester Township High School, reviewed new course offerings for next year designed to address some important needs for advanced courses and for meeting new state graduation requirements in Visual & Performing Arts. New Food Service Manager Superintendent of Schools, David Trethaway, thanked Jeff Hanaway, district Food Services Manager, for his work over the past six years that ultimately led to the district's three elementary schools receiving the Healthy U.S. Schools Challenge Silver Award. Hanaway introduced his successor, Rob Mastropolo, who comes to Manchester from Lakewood schools.
Kevin's Kids Report Kevin Burger reported on the success of the district's Kevin's Kids holiday drive and thanked all the volunteers, donors and supporters for their help. "It was our most successful Kevin's Kids Drive ever and it is truly a community effort," he said.
New RDS Programs Regional Day School Principal, Ralph Lotierzo, explained two new proposed programs, an After-Care program for current students and the TOPSS program (Transitional Opportunities and Post Secondary Services) for clients 21 and older who are no longer eligible to attend RDS.
