The Centennial School Board approved adding fencing around the Davis Elementary School playground.
Davis Elementary School students will be easier to supervise and less likely to fall down the school's steep hill during recess once a perimeter fence is installed, officials said.

"Enclosing the space helps to minimize the likelihood that a student will wander onto an adjacent property," Thomas Golden, the district's assistant facilities manager wrote in an inter office memo. "At the same time the physical barrier decreases the likelihood of unscheduled neighborhood visitors, be they pets or people, during the school day. The fencing prevents students from …

Members of the Centennial School Board discussed dismissal time at two of the district's elementary schools Tuesday evening.
Several members of the Centennial School Board said they were contacted by phone and via email following a posting on Patch regarding the dismissal process at McDonald Elementary School.

"Nothing is perfect in this world, but there is a lot of effort to make sure things work well." Board Member Michael Hartline said he took a few hours off of work to attend Tuesday afternoon's dismissal and investigate the situation.

Earlier this month, district administrators said the Region 1 elementary school building project was thrown nearly 6 weeks off of its already tight time line by Upper Southampton Township. Township officials said the district is simply laying the groundwork for deflecting the blame when they can’t deliver on their promise to open the school in September 2012. At the Centennial School Board’s August Operations Committee Meeting, Assistant Superintendent of Operations William Gretton said the district submitted plans for approval to the township in a timely fashion, but …
