The Boyertown Area School District board members were given a personal lesson by students last Tuesday at the Board of Directors meeting. Students, with iPods in hand, sat down alongside board members to explain what they have learned about this new technology.

To coincide with the personal explanations, two students presented a presentation about the iTouch to the audience.

During the first public comment period, one person came forward to address the fact that no other administrators have agreed to a pay freeze aside from superintendent Dr. Dion E. Betts.

The contract between the school district and Dr. Betts has been amended since the meeting held on May 8.

A new agreement has been made regarding Act 93 employees. This agreement will replace the current compensation plan, and states that the group will not receive salary increases for the 2012-2013 school year.

Many board members expressed their gratitude towards the groups willingness.

This was the first group that came to us about a freeze, stated board President Gwendolyn Semmens.
