Parkland Re-elects Bartlett as President, Marcus is New Vice President

During Parkland School Board's reorganization meeting, directors re-elect Jayne Bartlett as president; Roberta Marcus will be the new vice president.

 

Showing their confidence in Jayne Bartlett's leadership skills, Parkland School Board directors voted unanimously to re-elect Bartlett for another term as president. 

Vice President Robert Cohen stepped down, and Roberta Marcus, who recently received the Timothy M. Allwein Advocacy Award from the Pennsylvania School Boards Association, was elected vice president.

Mark Hanichak was the only director who didn't vote for Marcus. Having nominated himself for the position, he voted for himself.

"Thanks to Rob Cohen for his service as vice president. He provided the best and most wise advice," Bartlett said. "We are here for our students so let's get to work for them because they are counting on us."

Bartlett resides in Upper Macungie, and Marcus resides in South Whitehall.

I contacted LVHN several months ago about volunteering with my son (8 years old) at the AndersonRead More campus. I would stay with him at all times and supervise him. I was told that they do not accept children. I think its a shame that the hospital will not accept him a a volunteer. I am trying to teach him how to give back to his community . Apparently the hospital does not want our help. I think several patients, especially older ones, would like getting assistance from a young child.

Tom, LVHN does not have an Anderson Campus. I believe you are referring to St Luke's Health Network.Read More LVHN is not able to accept volunteers under the age of 16 years old. There are many mandated reasons that young children are not allowed to volunteer in a hospital setting. Volunteering is a wonderful thing to teach your children. There are organizations in the Leigh Valley who are willing to utilize families. Please visit the Volunteer Center of the Leigh Valley for other opportunities in your area. www.volunteerlv.org
