  • 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.

Flu season in full swing at the College By Caroline Russomanno Arts & Entertainment Editor The flu has afflicted many College students lately, but according to Janice Vermeychuk, director of Health Services, this yearʼs flu season is not as bad as previous years. “Last year was a horrible year for the flu — we had 300 students in here with it,” Vermeychuk said. This yearʼs count hasnʼt reached those proportions yet, but the Collegeʼs flu season stretches until the start of Spring Break. “Spring Break tends to flush it out,” Barbara Clark, an adult Nurse Practitioner with Health Services, said. Tina Tan, the state epidemiologist for the Department of Health, said in a phone interview this season has not been “a more serious season compared to previous years. Weʼll have a better sense at the end of the season.” “All of the strains (of the flu) in the reported cases have been a match with the vaccine so far,” she added.
