In discussion of programs of study, the PPC addressed the incorporation of

PA Academic standards into each course's curriculum. Standards discussed

focused on math, reading, writing, and career & work.

2. Discussion of how LEA’s Career and Technical Program competencies align

with at least one PDE developed Program of Study

Mr. Moran provided a brief report of each approved career and technical

program. Agricultural Production Operations, General, Administrative Assistant &

Secretarial Science and Sales, Distribution, and Marketing Operations, are the

currently approved programs of study by PDE. All programs of study continue to

incorporate the inclusion of PA academic standards into all CTE courses.

3. Discussion of activities and budget allocation for coming year to address

required uses of funds; as defined in 2016-2017 Perkins Guidelines.

Discussion of activities and budget allocations for the upcoming year began

with a synopsis of student outcomes from 2015-2016. Mr. Moran presented

indicators of program success. This included a review of student organization

participation and successes at local, regional, state and national level & the 2015-

2016 NOCTI results. This report will be shared with the school

board/superintendent at the June 2016 school board meeting. A copy of the

presentation is available for review by contacting Mr. Moran. The committee

identifies that the school goals for 2016-2017 will be aligned with those of the

previous year. Namely,

Increase program completion rate

Increase Standardized State Assessment scores in Math

Increase non-traditional participation

Increase non-traditional completion

Discussion then moved as to how best to meet the above mentioned goals.

Mr. Moran identified that there is decrease in Perkins funds for the 16-17 school

year with LASD's allocation totaling $23,344. Requests for expenditure

considerations from each represented OAC were received and are tabled. Each

item was presented and read to the PPC with an explanation of each item, its use

to the program, relationship to goals, and justifications for inclusion or removal.

In addition, discussion took place in regards to required uses of funds, permissive

uses of funds, and ineligible uses of Perkins money for career and technical

programs of study approved through PDE.

The PPC suggested sending the following action plan expenditures to PDE for

LHS has 19 Level II students scheduled to return and 24 new

enrollees in the Level I class.

Our Computer Systems Instructor has been selected and will be

named at the June 20 Board meeting. A great individual with

extensive experience and loves working with kids. Our new Early

Learning instructor has also been selected and will also be named at

the June 20 Board meeting. Interviews for these positions were

conducted by Mark Blanchard, GHS Principal, representatives of each

of the respective OAC committee and Jim Cramer. Candidates

chosen were given a final interview with Dr. Redding, GASD supt.

Mr. Frank Flamini has been named as my successor. Frank has been

the "No 2" administrator at Cumberland/Perry AVTS since 2007.

Franks' knowledge of CTE and what we do here at ACTP are

enhanced by his extensive experience in Guidance positions at West

Perry and Dover School districts. I could not be happier with the

decision to hire Frank from a pool of 16 qualified applicants.

The Perkins allocation for ACTP/GASD for 2016-17 is $104,787.

About 70% of this award will be used to furnish and supply the new

Computer Systems Networking classroom and lab.

Thanks to all at Littlestown for your support of TP programs during my

11 year tenure. I've shared this several times in the past....... to be

successful in any venture, you must surround yourself with good people. I

have had the unique experience to work directly with district

administrators, high school administrators and guidance staff from 5

different school districts. All great people with students at the heart of

everything we do!

Update on PDE Audit/Progress – Dr. Meakin

Dr. Meakin reported that the approved corrective plan has been

implemented. We have worked with colleagues at other schools to improve

the consistency of our OAC meetings. This has been done by establishing a

standard agenda used by all programs at all meetings. There were a couple

of safety items that were quickly resolved. Time has been allotted for

program teachers to expand their community contacts. The updates to the

CATS system is the only part which is behind schedule. Dr. Meakin indicated

that the Corrective Action plan monthly meetings have been very beneficial

to strengthening program outcomes.
