  • School Cluster List
    APPENDIX G: SCHOOL CLUSTERS Providers may use the updated grid, along with public and charter school enrollment numbers and prior average utilization of behavioral health services, to estimate number and types of staff needed to adequately meet the needs of children in their clusters of interest. School enrollment information can be found at the School District of Philadelphia website here. Based on prior year utilization of behavioral health services, providers may calculate 2-7% of the total enrollment as an estimate of the number of children participating in behavioral health treatment. Providers may apply the 2% to “Model” schools, 4% to “Reinforce” schools, and 7% to “Watch” and “Intervene” schools. Please note that prior utilization is not a guarantee of future utilization. Charter schools are marked in red italics.

    The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education 2005 Annual Report Celebrating 40thOur OUR MISSION To promote, through environmental education, the preservation and improvement of our natural environment. We do this by: Fostering appreciation, understanding and responsible use of the ecosystem; Disseminating information on current environmental issues; Encouraging appropriate public response to environmental problems; Maintaining the facilities of the Center and conserving its land for the purpose of environmental education. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ur 40th anniversary year has been extraordinary! Celebrations throughout the year honored all those whose vision and hard work laid the foundation Ofor our current success. Sadly, we also paid our last respects to one of our founders, Henry H. H. Meigs, whose passing in February signified the end of an era. This milestone year has been marked by a renewed connection to our neighbors. A series of informal gatherings has strengthened relations, and the formation of the new Schuylkill Center Community Council has opened the door to ongoing dialogue about partnership efforts within the local community. Outside recognition from prominent local institutions brought validation for our efforts and commitment to environmental leadership. Our Education staff’s work with the Green Woods Charter School received commendation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and our land restoration efforts garnered renewed funding from the Horace Acting Director, Dennis Burton (seated on left) and Goldsmith Foundation. We also received a substantial Board Chair, Harry Weiss (standing on right) with grant from the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum neighbors Mark Soffa, Brendan Binder and Ruth Ann Fitzpatrick celebrating the Center at a reception in the Commission.
