District delivers 2,350 doses of Swine Flu vaccineIn late October and early November,student absenteeism rates were as highas 13 percent across the district. At the highschool one week, there were a few dayswhere the daily absenteeism rate was over20 percent.“For a time there, we were worried thatwe would need to implement some of ourcontingency plans,” said SuperintendentSherri Smith. “Such plans include postingall homework on the district’s Web site andsending ill students’ books home so theycan keep up with their classmates.“Thankfully, we followed the state andnational trend and our illnesses began todecline and quickly reached normal levels.”In preparation for the impact ofH1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu), the districtpurchased hand sanitizers for each buildingand instructed custodians to disinfectcommon areas like handrails and doorknobsto prevent contamination.The district also worked closelywith the Dauphin County EmergencyManagement Agency to prepare for massvaccination clinics when swine flu vaccinebecame available. Those free clinics wereheld in late November and early Decemberand took place in every school. A seconddose of vaccine was needed for students inkindergarten, first and second grades.All together, Lower Dauphin held 13vaccination clinics to inoculate our studentsagainst Swine Flu, delivering 2,350 dosesof vaccine. A breakdown by school buildingfollows:• Lower Dauphin High School – 408students vaccinated;• Lower Dauphin Middle School - 417students vaccinated;• Conewago Elementary School – 105students vaccinated;• East Hanover Elementary School –157 students vaccinated;• Londonderry Elementary School –156 students vaccinated;• Nye Elementary School – 174students vaccinated; and• South Hanover Elementary School –163 students vaccinated.Forty-five community nursesvolunteered their time to help the districtadminister the vaccine to its students.“I cannot say enough about thosenurse volunteers,” Dr. Smith said. “Theyreally provided an invaluable service to ourstudents and our community.”School board hears about looming pension crisisLower Dauphin Superintendent SherriSmith told the school board that thedistrict and the state face a crisis in the wayemployee pensions are funded.In January, Dr. Smith told the boardthat the employer contribution rate for nextschool year will increase 72 percent fromthis year’s current rate. And there is norelief in sight for the next four years basedon current conditions and expectations.She said the Pennsylvania School BoardsAssociation is predicting the followingincreases in the employer contribution rate:• 29 percent increase for the 2011-12school year;• 176 percent increase for the 2012-13school year;• 9.8 percent increase for the 2013-14school year; and• 4.7 percent increase for the 2014-15school year.Tera McCorkel, right, gives a student at Lower Dauphin Middle School avaccination against H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu) at a clinic in November.She estimated that the district’smillage rate would need to increaseby more than 7 mils to fully fundthe district’s obligations.“This crisis has been comingfor a number of years,” Dr. Smithtold the school board. “Yet, to date,there has been a lack of politicalwill in the state Legislature to tacklethis issue.”She explained that the problemhas its roots in two major causes –poor performance of the stock market andactions by the Legislature.Prior to 1999, the employercontribution rate was always a minimumof 8.76 percent. Then in 1999 it droppedto 6.04 percent and fell to a low of 1.09percent in 2002. The rate has inched backup since then and sits at 4.78 percent thisyear.Investment earnings forthe state employees’ pensionfund have also taken a majorhit. In five of the past 10 years,investments failed to meet thepredicted rates of return. Forexample, in the 2008-09 schoolyear investment earnings werepredicted to yield an 8.5 percentreturn and instead posted a 26.54percent loss.“PSBA is proposinglegislation to help mitigate the loomingcrisis,” Dr. Smith told the board. “Underthe PSBA proposal, a hybrid system wouldbe created which would call for newemployees to fall under a defined benefitsystem so that over time costs will becontained as members of the current systemretire and are replaced with members of thenew plan.5
