Rice) SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Staff and Student Spotlight Mr. Rahn spotlighted FFA Parliamentary Procedure team members Lily Guthrie, Christa Kretzing, Janell Baker, Colby McMillen, Mackenzie Curtis, Paige Rice, Joe Dailey, and John Noss. Parliamentary Procedure is a FFA Career Development event in which students learn how to effectively and efficiently conduct a business meeting. During this CDE students have the opportunity to learn how to use 23 different motions accepted as proper parliamentary procedure ranging from amendments to reconsidering motions. In addition, students learn to thoroughly debate a topic amongst their peers and then realize the significance of their individual 1 vote once it is cast. Students also study Robert's Rules of Order to hone their knowledge with all aspects of Parliamentary Procedure, which they demonstrate on a written test. The team first competed in the Area Competition consisting of teams from Cumberland, Perry, and Dauphin Counties, where they placed second and continued to the South Central Region Career Development Event. At the regional level they placed second again and earned a place at the state competition, where they competed against 12 other teams, and they earned a place in the final round which consisted of four teams. During this final round battle the team placed 3rd where they received the honor to compete against the Eastern Region United States at the Eastern States Exposition also known as the Big E. The team placed 2nd at this competition, which consisted of teams from the States of the Eastern United States ranging from Kentucky to Connecticut. In addition, at the State Competition Christa Kretzing and Joe Dailey became accredited Parliamentarians with the Society of Agricultural Education Parliamentarians based upon their high test scores. In order to receive this honor, they received an 80% or better on the accredited Parliamentarian exam, a feat accomplished by only 2 other students in the state of Pennsylvania this year. Mr. Rahn also acknowledged FFA advisors John Hines and Ayla Miller for their hard work in preparing these students for competition.

The approximate cost for the trip is $3,900.00, which includes transportation, accommodations, excursions, breakfast and dinner daily, and tipping. This trip would be offered to students in June 2016 (approximate departure date of June 20, 2016). Students from the classes of 2016 and 2017 would be eligible to participate if they meet specified requirements (completion of 10th grade English and enrollment in at least 11 th grade English with a B average, two character references, and a clear disciplinary record). Multiple fundraisers will be available to offset the cost of this trip. Board members commented about the benefits our students receive by attending trips to see the world. However, there are concerns about the current affairs that are happening in Europe and around the world, and the safety of our students and staff while attending these trips. Mr. Grippin acknowledged the Boards concerns and stated he would be in contact with the representative of EF Tours. Mrs. Rice asked about a policy for cancellations if something would happen that the trip would need to be cancelled. Mr. Grippin stated he would check with EF Tours, but was sure they had a procedure in place if a trip would be cancelled. Mr. Grippin promised that he would make parents aware of this policy before they enrolled their child in the trip. 2 It was suggested that participants for this trip obtain travelers insurance in the event current affairs would cause this trip to be cancelled.

  • Critical Facilities and Hazard Vulnerability Analysis This
    Perry County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Appendix B - Critical Facilities and Hazard Vulnerability Analysis Critical Facilities and Hazard Vulnerability Analysis This inventory and analysis was undertaken as an action step targeting Strategy 2 under Goal 4 of the 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan. The resulting document will be added to the next Hazard Mitigation Plan update and integrated as an appendix to the Emergency Operations Plan. There are many public and quasi-public facilities critical to meeting the health, safety, educational and other needs of Perry County’s residents. The need for these services and the extent to which they can be provided depend largely on the size and density of and nature of development within the area. Another consideration is the composition and spatial distribution of the residential population. With others it is the lands ability to support certain types of development. Finally and perhaps the defining factor is money. What financial resources are available to support the range of facilities needed? This section of the Hazard Mitigation Plan will provide an inventory of the existing community facilities within Perry County. Scope of the Critical Facilities Inventory For the purpose of this inventory and analysis the following facilities were considered as being critically important to the daily workings of Perry County. • Bridges (State, Municipal and County) • Communications (Center, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Messaging Boards, and Towers) • Corrections Facilities Dams • Daycare, Healthcare,

West Perry School District is currently investing time and resources in the MTSS model. At this time, we are still adhering to the discrepancy model when identifying students with specific learning disabilities. As is the case with all students who may be struggling academically or behaviorally, West Perry School District has a pre-referral intervention plan, which is implemented after a student is referred by a teacher or parent. The MTSS Support Team (elementary) and IST Team (secondary) may complete individual assessments and provide supplementary aids and services in the area(s) a student is showing a need for support. The team may engage other professionals (Learning Support teachers, Emotional Support teachers, Reading specialists, Speech & Language clinicians and/or counselors) to provide this intervention. Collectively the team continues to provide support until which time the student is either successful with supplementary aids and services or is still presenting needs which results in a referral.
