  • Little Lehigh Creek Visual Assessment WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP ALLENTOWN CITY
    Coldwater Heritage Partnership LITTLE LEHIGH CREEK COLDWATER CONSERVATION PLAN October 2007 Acknowledgements This project was not possible without the support of the partners listed below. The Lehigh County Conservation District (LCCD) was critical in the development of the Con- servation Plan. The Watershed Specialist Rebecca Kennedy and Conservation Program Spe- cialist Erin Frederick took on significant roles beyond expectations to ensure success. They were involved in all aspects including developing the protocol for the visual stream assess- ment, surveying dozens of reaches, and designing a GIS format to better interpret the data col- lected. LCCD invested enormous amounts of resources and GIS expertise that allowed the partners to develop a Conservation Plan more comprehensive than thought possible. In addition, dedicated members of the Little Lehigh Trout Unlimited and Saucon Creek Water- shed Association volunteered numerous hours walking the main stem of the Little Lehigh Creek to assess the state of the waterway. Two members of the Saucon Creek Watershed Association deserve special recognition. These volunteers surveyed the greatest number of reaches and their dedication was greatly appreci- ated. Terry Boos Ray Follador We would like to also thank the hard work of the following volunteers that spent time assessing the creek. Bob Ditmars Greg Gliwa Allan Johnson Stacy Reed Jeff Sabo Burt Schaffer Mario Spagnoletti Powen Wang This plan was made possible through a grant from the Coldwater Heritage Partnership. The Partnership is a collabo- rative effort between the PA Fish & Boat Commission, PA De- partment of Conservation and Natural Resources, Western Penn- sylvania Watershed Protection Program and Pennsylvania Trout.

  • Annual Report July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 More Educational Opportunities for Student Success
    Annual Report July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017 More Educational Opportunities for Student Success Leadership Message Richard L. Button President 2016 – 2017 Dear Friends, The Allentown School District Foundation’s Board of Directors and the three part-time folks who work for the foundation continued to focus our efforts on quality and quantity. There has been positive movement on all fronts, improving our program delivery and increasing the number of active participants in all our efforts. Our purpose remains vital, and that is to drive more dollars into classrooms for greater impact. We have raised almost $2.1 million since 2009 to fund our programs. Here are some the highlights: . We are proud partners with the Allentown School District (ASD), as we identify programs and opportunities that will result in real progress for our students and for our schools. Executive Director, Susan L. Williams, who joined us in November 2015, produced and distributed an online survey that is the basis of the foundation’s new strategic plan. Sent to approximately 300 community leaders and ASD educators, the survey’s responses provided much needed consensus and direction for our future priorities. Our Board of Directors remains the backbone of this non-profit effort. We are continuing to recruit new directors from Allentown’s growing professional and business community that believe in our mission. We hold ourselves accountable to our donors and supporters. ASDF Administrator Vicki Newhard now tracks student participation in our programs, with real-time data. Called the “ASDF Impact Report,” it identified 5,332 students who participated in ASDF programs in 2016-2017, double the number in the previous year (see page 3).

  • City with Limits: an Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA
    City with Limits: An Untold History of Residential Segregation and Education Inequality in Allentown, PA By: Wilberto Sicard Outline ● Part 1: Introduction ● Part 2: One City, Two Neighborhoods ● Part 3: A Tale of Two Schools ● Part 4: Conclusion Introduction ● In January 2010, Allentown adopted a new slogan titled, “City without limits” to underscore the city’s rebounding economy and future prosperity amid the downfall of the Great Recession ● However, Allentonians of color could not embrace this slogan because their history in Allentown was defined by oppressive limits ● This project works to highlight these limits placed on Allentown’s African American and Latinx communities ● The thesis accomplishes this by utilizing Richard Rothstein’s theory in The Color of Law and showing that Allentown’s 1960s urban renewal projects were a form of de jure, or by the law, segregation. ● The thesis then extends this theory to show the long-term impact of segregation on the city’s public school system ● This project ends by offering policy proposals that would lead to a true “City without limits.” One City, Two Neighborhoods ● By 1960, 745 African American people lived in Allentown ● Of these 745, 528 lived in the downtown area ● These people of color were restricted to this area as a result of redlining ● Private landlords and home sellers would not rent/sell homes outside of inner-city area to Allentonians of color ● Banks would not give mortgages to people of color either ● These policies make up the de facto, or practices that existed in reality,
