The South Fayette School District has its administrative personnel under contract for five more years.

School board members have approved a new Act 93 agreement with administrators through 2013 and a new pact with Dr. Mary Ravita, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment.

The agreement was approved by an 8-0 vote. President William Newcomer was contacted by telephone and Leonard Fornella was not present.

Newcomer said the agreement has been worked on since last July with "a lot of give and take."

Christopher Niemann, vice president, said employees conceded to make contributions to health care.

The Act 93 agreement, which covers administrative personnel including building principals and Dr. Nancy Sullivan, director of pupil personnel. was set to expire in June.

Ravita was awarded a new five-year contract, the terms of which cover July 1 through June 30, 2013.

Construction

Due to increasing enrollment and space constraints in the current elementary school, the district is studying options for performing renovations to the current school versus building a new third-through- fifth grade campus facility.

Those who are interested and able to attend are invited to participate in meetings through June 24. They will be held on the following dates: May 14, 28, and June 11 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., and June 18 (as needed) from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The location will be determined upon the number of persons interested in participating.

Residents can contact Ruth Bell by phone at 724-693-3013 or at bell@southfayette.org , to provide her with name, address, phone number and e-mail address.
