Upper Nazareth Supervisors Meeting

In an article by Arlene Martinez of the Morning Call (read it here) the Upper Nazareth Supervisors met and there were three primary issues discussed:
  • Library Funding
  • The Nazareth Skate Park
  • A new highway superintendent

Regarding the library it was noted that Supervisors did not seem convinced that the amount they were asked to pay was appropriate. The decision to make payment as requested was tabled. The article also notes that while Nazareth and Lower Nazareth have agreed to pay the amount requested Bushkill has only agreed to pay the amount less $10,000.00.

The Skate Park did not have an amount attached to Upper Nazareth at this point, but the concern noted in the article regarded liability.

Finally, it was determined that the highway superintendent position would be described more fully in a job description and addressed in the future.

Were you at the meeting? What more was discussed? What do you think of their decisions and concerns?

Nazareth school locked down; toy gun found

Nazareth Area School District officials found a toy gun during a morning search after two Shafer Elementary students told their principal they heard someone had a weapon. The students said they heard the rumor at the bus stop, according to Superintendent Victor Lesky.

The school went on lockdown shortly before 9 a.m., meaning students were not allowed to leave their classrooms.

Officials searched students' lockers and backpacks before finding the toy gun, said Lesky.

The parents of the student were notified and called to the school. The boy will face disciplinary action, including a suspension and must undergo counseling.

By 10 a.m., Shafer had resumed its normal class schedule.
