Pair of issues looms big for CD board

The Central Dauphin School Board meeting Monday is shaping up to be a forum on food and transportation issues. It will be held in the Lecture Hall of Central Dauphin East High School, 7 pm.

Last month’s vote to hire a new food serve management company is still making waves. Board member Christian Malesic was quoted in a WHP CBS 21 story about the controversial vote, and his colleague Justin McShane is scheduled to speak on the issue during Monday’s meeting.

And, I’ve had a couple chats with bus drivers about their concerns with the way the district’s transportation department is being operated. Also, there’s talk that the district might subcontract its busing operation as a way to reduce costs. Two bus drivers that are labor union leaders – Donna Ricpero and Irv Shadle – are scheduled to speak at Monday’s meeting.
