Documents

Charter School Law
The Charter School Law, 24 P.S. §17-1701-A et seq.,
was first enacted by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1997. While
initial charter applications, renewals and annual reporting
are procedures involving the local public school district,
the primary responsibility for the success or failure of
a charter school rests with the board of trustees, administration
and staff of the charter school itself. In this regard,
charter schools are largely self-managed. Public school
districts such as the Avon Grove School District do not have
day-to-day management responsibility or control over a charter
school. Charter school funding is mandated by the Pennsylvania
Charter School Law, and not by individual public school districts. In
addition, some charter schools, known as “cyber” charter
schools, are approved directly by the Pennsylvania Department
of Education. For more information on charter schools,
view the Pennsylvania Department of Education website at
www.pde.state.pa.us . |

Attention
Volunteers: Revision to Board Policy #916
“Effective July 1, 2005, building level administrators
are responsible for ensuring that all volunteers having direct
contact with children shall undergo and complete criminal
background and child abuse clearance checks prior to serving.
Such clearances are to be maintained by the principal at
each school. Volunteers shall be reimbursed for the cost
of these clearances, i.e., $10.00 for the Act 34 clearance,
$10.00 for the Act 151 clearance, and $24.00, if necessary,
for the FBI clearance) after filing appropriate receipts.
The clearance requirement shall not apply to a volunteer
for a single event where the volunteer will have no contact
with children other than under the direct supervision and
in the physical presence of district staff."

Fred
S. Engle Middle School |
 “Don’t
Be An Ostrich!” All parents are invited to hear
one of the most well regarded speakers in the area talk
about the warning signs of substance abuse. The Fred
S. Engle Middle School PTO and Avon Grove’s Student
Assistance Program are sponsoring a parents’ night
on January 23, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fred S. Engle
Middle School cafeteria. The speaker, Debra Delp, has
her degree in nursing and social services, but her real
experience comes from how drugs and alcohol have personally
affected her life. The program provides parents with
information about how to talk to their children about
drugs and alcohol, how to identify if their child is
using, and what they and their family can do about it.
There will be a wide range of information to read and
take home as well as tasty refreshments!
Every parent will be faced with issues surrounding drugs and
alcohol at some point in their child’s life; we would like
to help them prepare! Admission is Free!
January 23, 2006 from 6:30 p.m.-8:00
p.m.
MS Cafeteria
Snow date- January 31st 6:30pm-8:00pm
In case of inclement weather please call FSEMS before 3:30 to
confirm cancellation. (610) 869-3022
