East Lycoming School District is preparing to host its partners at the Lycoming Career and Technology Center expansion project ribbon-cutting ceremony next month.
"Our partners at Lycoming CTC are nearing completion on the construction and renovation project to their facilities, and a ribbon cutting ceremony is planned from 10 a.m. to noon, Aug. 24," said Dr. Gregory Scoggins, district superintendent.
He recently during a board meeting thanked Dr. Craig Skaluba, Lyco CTC Superintendent of Record, and Nate Minium, its Lyco CTC Executive Director, for the invitation.
The Lyco CTC is in the process of expanding its programs to include welding and diesel technology.
Scoggings' contract was recently approved with a salary of $140,000. He was selected to replace Dr. Mark Stamm who resigned and Gerald McLaughlin, who served as interim superintendent.
"It is with great humility and appreciation that I present my first Superintendent's Report for the East Lycoming School District," Scoggins wrote.
"My first 20 days in this position have offered many opportunities to learn more about this great community from faculty and staff, board members, and community stakeholders. I look forward to serving this district and the amazing people in our community."
The district team has added some new faces recently including Noah Adams, director of technology, Noah Bower, director of buildings and grounds, and Dr. Ryan Carper, director of curriculum and instruction.
The district reappointed a number of staff ranging from bus duty, bus drivers, coaches, and band camp workers. In addition, a transfer request was approved for Miranda Houser, a part-time food service worker at Ashkar Elementary to transfer to a part-time instructional aide position at the high school.
Other appointments and transfers under consideration will be on the August board agenda.
The district recognized Gail Warren, East Lycoming School District office administrative assistant to the superintendent, for her 18 years of service to this district.
"As she begins her 19th year in the district, her continued dedication is recognized by everyone," Scoggins wrote.
Recently, the board was presented with a request to adjust her salary to a level that is commensurate with her expertise and years of experience. It is $55,000.
Scoggins further thanked the board "for the opportunity to form a committee of community and district stakeholders to begin discussion and work focused on core values that better represent our local community values for the 2026-2027 school year. That committee will report to the board with findings and recommendations at a future board meeting."
The board has been working with the district on a revised electronics policy. A second reading of the policy will be done before finalization.
