BOARD OF EDUCATION
The East Stroudsburg Area School District is govemed by a Board of Education whose nine

The Board is entrusted with a great responsibility by the State legislature to operate the public
schools of the school district. The Board adopts policies and regulations for operations of the schools
and must approve the hiring of all school district employees. The Board establishes school tax rates
and approves annual expenditures through adoption of a¡r annual budget. The powers of the Board
include executive, legislative, and judicial functions.
The school district is managed by administrato¡s who work as a team to administer Board policies.
These administrators are guided and supervised by the Superintendent of Schools, who is appointed
by the Board.

East Stroudsburg Area School District addresses its students' health and wellness needs with a
comprehensive approach that includes health screenings, physical activity, nutrition and education.
Every year, the school nurses measure each student's height and weight, which is a reflection of their
gro*ih. Along these lines, the PA Department of Health is requiring that this information be
calculated as a BMI (Body Mass Index) percentile. BMI percentile is a ratio of height, weight, age
and gender.
Healthy children come in all sizes and shapes, and BMI percentile is used as a guideline to help
assess whether a student may be overweight or underweight. A high or low BMI percentile may be
a sign of a potential health problem. For example, a student who is overweight may have an
increased risk ofdeveloping heart disease or diabetes. Similarly; a student who is underweight, may
have an increased risk of hea¡t problems, loss of bone mass, or anemia. It is important to note that
the BMI percentile is only a screening tool. Many factors, including sports participation, family
history, or stage of puberty, can influence the BMI percentile. Therefore, it is important that Parents
sha¡e the results with the student's health care provider, who can best evaluate that student's overall
health.

using anÞM approach to pest management. Our IPM approach focuses on making the school building and
grounds an unfãvorable habitat for these pests by removing food and water sources and eliminating their
hiding and breeding places. We accomplish this through routine cleaning and maintenance. We routinely
monitor the school buildings and grounds to detect any pests that are plesent. Pest sightings are reported to
our IPM coordinator who evaluates the'þest problern'and determines the appropriate pest management
techniques to address the problem. The techniques can include increased sanitation, modifying storage
practices, sealing entry points, physically removing the pest, etc.
