    Board Finalizes Support Staff Contract by Solomiya Syvyk News Editor

    Middle Schools grades 5-8 for 2015-16 year: 6-7 Music Awards: 12 French Students Pennsbury grading experience football game: policy: 5 10 Board finalizes support staff contract By Solomiya Syvyk News Editor After several months of deliberation, the Neshaminy Educational Support Professional Association (NESPA) approved a new four-year contract with the school district on Oct. 24. Negotiations and talks had been going on since May, as the previous agreement expired June 30. In order to minimize costs, the district referred to the primary idea of outsourcing, a process that is included in the finalized deal, which otherwise has largely remained the same compared to the former. Following approximately 100 members of NESPA vocalizing their concerns and petitioning for their jobs at a school board meeting in June, the contract was approved on Oct.28 with a vote of 8 to 1. “From a district perspective, the new contract will help alleviate some significant resources - close to $1.5M in operation cost - that we can use for educational priorities while improving efficiency from a management perspective. From an employee viewpoint, we worked in concert to insure that as few as possible current employees were impacted by the changes, while providing incentives for those that are considering retirement,” school board member Mark Shubin said. Up to 73 union jobs may be outsourced, with a total of 52 replaced from the categories of Transportation, Instructional, Custodial, and Non-Instructional Aides. Every bargaining unit or NESPA OUTSOURCING- Secretary Jacki Gimello and custodian Kevin Huckel (L to R) are members of NESPA, which recently negotiated a contract with the school board in which 73 jobs will be outsourced.

    Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty, and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive, and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. The DVRPC logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. The logo combines these elements to depict the areas served by DVRPC. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) The Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for this report’s findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views of policies of the funding agencies.
