SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT I wish to report to the Board of Directors that Mrs. Robin Martin, elementary principal, is recuperating from an accident, which resulted in an injury to her foot, and Mr. Ron Keefer is in the Conemaugh Valley Memorial Hospital in Johnstown because of need for by-pass surgery.

Staff members received training on the new Apple computers today. These computers will replace the desktop units.

I want to commend Mr. Omatick and his staff as well as all our administrators for their efforts making adjustments for the proposed reconfiguration.

Although we were unable to accomplish the restructuring of our district for this year, it is imperative that the board and community work together to accomplish this task in the near future. We need to start this year looking at the feasibility of renovating our senior high school.
