SUBJECT: 2015 Summer Literacy Program
MONTH/YEAR PRESENTED TO BOARD: May 2015
INITIATED BY: Dr. Diane Holben
COMMITTEE: Education/Community/Policy Committee
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval of Summer Literacy Program to be held at Oak
Park Elementary School
=============================================================================
BACKGROUND:
During the summer of 2015, a summer literacy educational program is proposed to be held for Oak Park students.
It would be held concurrently with a free meal program that is funded by a federal grant and run by the North
Penn School District School Nutrition Services.
Oak Park Elementary School educates approximately 500 students a year, many of whom reside in a
neighborhood community that is within two miles of the school. In school districts students are identified as
economically disadvantaged if they qualify for free/reduced lunch. The free meal program is one in which
districts can participate if at least one district school has at least 50% of its student population that qualify for
free/reduced. This program is federally funded. As of April 1st, 2015, Oak Park has demographics that include
approximately 57.14% of its students receiving free/reduced lunch, approximately 10% of students who are
English Language Learners, and approximately 13% of the students having Individualized Education
Programs. According to multiple sources of research, students with these demographic characteristics
historically underachieve academically.
The Oak Park Summer Reading Program will provide literacy instruction to four grade levels - Kindergarten
through third grades. In addition, breakfast and lunch will be served to all students. This program will be
conducted four days a week for six weeks beginning Monday, July 13 and continuing through Thursday August 20
from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. There is an approximate cost of $12,557 to the district to conduct the reading
intervention program. By providing increased learning opportunities through summer reading and language arts
instruction as well as healthy meals during the summer months when the school meal program is not operating,
the district will seek to close the academic achievement gap in reading proficiency and make nutritious meals
available to students.

COMMITTEE: Personnel
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of the Employee Assistance Contract with the Penn Foundation effective July 1,

are negatively affecting job performance.

supportive services that total nearly 200 hours for the year. A quality assurance survey conducted with a
sampling of employees and family members who contacted the Penn Foundation for services showed an overall
satisfaction rate of 98%.

SUBJECT:
FIRST STUDENT CONTRACT
MONTH / YEAR PRESENTED TO BOARD:
INITIATED BY:
Steve Skrocki
COMMITTEE:
Finance Committee
MAY 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of a contract with First Student for transportation services for the
2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18 fiscal years with an option for the 2018-19 fiscal year
and the 2019-20 fiscal year. The final contract language will be subject to review and
approval by the Solicitor. The district will pay for the cost of the fuel for the contracted
buses. The cost per bus shall be as follows:
2015-16:
$239.96
2016-17:
$245.96
2017-18:
$252.11
2018-19 (option):
$258.41
2019-20 (option):
$264.87
BACKGROUND:
The contract with First Student for school transportation services ends on June 30, 2015.
The finance committee has discussed the contract process, pricing, fuel options, and
various proposal scenarios over the past several months. The current cost per bus is
$249.96 with a fuel share arrangement where the district pays 50% of the cost of fuel over
$2.50/gallon and the district receives a credit of 50% of the cost of the fuel under
$2.50/gallon. The district contracts for 44 buses for the 2014-15 year.
Several months of negotiations and multiple options being reviewed led to a
recommendation of continuing the services of First Student but ending the fuel share
arrangement. The 2015-16 pricing will represent a 4% reduction in the cost per bus
compared to the current year. Subsequent years will see a 2.50% increase. When
compared to the historical pricing of fuel the district will benefit from paying for its own fuel
as compared to the proposal for continuing the shared cost arrangement.
