The
Central Dauphin School Board will meet Monday, Aug. 25, in the Lecture Hall of Central Dauphin East High School. The meeting will begin at 7 pm and the public is invited to attend.
I reviewed the meeting agenda on the
district’s Web site, and the only item of interest that I spotted is under New Business, board member
Justin McShane has requested to speak about the finance committee, Title I funding, and the school board.
Last meeting, McShane and fellow board member
Christian Malesic apparently
were miffed by not getting appointed to a newly formed finance committee. They had lobbied for some time to have such a committee as part of the board.

There is one tax issue that will be discussed under New Business – The Administration is recommending the appointment of
Berkheimer Tax Administrator as the Earned Income Tax Administrator for the Central Dauphin School District. If approved, Berkheimer would start collecting the two-percent tax starting Jan. 1, 2009. If you're not up to speed on this issue, check out this
Gazette post for some background info.

On Friday, August 8, however, about 100 students and staff members of the Central Dauphin High School RamBand will take hot, sweaty and dirty to a new level as they dedicate a day of band camp to the group’s inaugural Community Service Day.
