Parkland School District superintendent and Jaindl Elementary principal request that the township supervisors put a crosswalk by the school.
Concerned for the safety of Jaindl Elementary School students crossing Cetronia Road, Parkland School District is asking Upper Macungie to put in a crosswalk. Superintendent Richard Sniscak and Jaindl Principal Diana Schantz told the township supervisors last week that the school has a crossing guard at the intersection of Cetronia and Mosser roads for students crossing over from Parkland View apartments before and after school. Do you know this intersection? When is the traffic the worst? Leave a comment. But there are no speed limit signs for traffic coming off of Route 100 and some motorists there go pretty fast. “We’ve had some close calls,” Schantz said. Township supervisors agreed to look into it. “We’re just looking to create a …

The Parkland School District administration will seek a wage freeze from the district support staff as it looks for ways to help bridge a $853,000 budget gap for the 2012-2013 school year.
Even after projected staff and program cuts, Parkland School District officials must still bridge a $853,000 funding gap in its proposed 2012-2013 school budget and will seek a wage freeze from its support staff as part of its efforts, Superintendent Richard Sniscak said Friday at an all-day budget seminar. The district's teachers have already agreed to a wage freeze as part of contract negotiations. The district's administrators took a wage freeze for the current school year. With the state allowing a tax increase up to 3.67 percent, the district continues to face fiscal challenges to balance the budget, Sniscak told board members and fellow administrators. A preliminary budget passed in January carried a proposed 4.96 tax increase, …

Parkland raised district taxes this year and Superintendent Richard Sniscak said 2012 will require some tough decisions, too. District officials distributed a tentative budget timeline for the 2012-2013 school year on Monday to the school board’s Personnel and Finance Committee. “We’re looking at everything with the idea that we need to have a balanced budget, and it’s not going to be an easy task,” Superintendent Richard Sniscak told the committee. Sniscak said he anticipates the district will face the same financial challenges as it did when preparing this year's budget. Like school districts elsewhere, Parkland has been dealing with state funding cuts and lower commercial property assessments. The district raised taxes 3.8 percent for …

It's great to hear that some students in Parkland are actually walking to school. It seems like nearly everyone in the district get bused, even those who are just a short walk away - for example, at Parkway Manor. more ›
