Mifflin County Report
MIFFLIN COUNTY REPORT – FALL 2011
Mifflin County School District
combined both Indian Valley and Lewistown Area High Schools into the Mifflin
County High School for the 2011-2012 school year. They closed 5 or 6
buildings and reduced Music Faculty from 15 to 10. Almost all Music
Faculty were reassigned to a new building.
As leverage to get the teachers to accept a one year contract the Board cut all
Elementary Music, Phys Ed and Art teachers during the summer. After the
teachers accepted the contract the teachers were reinstated. Since it is
a one year contract we expect more of the same from the Board next year.
Also due to the Governor's Education Budget cuts we expect to be in worse shape
next year with the loss of more Music Faculty reductions.
Respectfully submitted,
Arthur F. Belfiore
