Consider the approval of a Letter of Agreement with Family Life Services which
will enable that agency to provide professional counselors to assist the
families of Williamsport Area School District students through the Primary
Grades Initiative. This program, funded by the Lycoming-Clinton Mental
Health/Mental Retardation Program, is designed to target services for emotional
issues toward as-risk children before problems become disruptive to family and
school life. The Primary Grades Initiative has been serving children in our
district since 1994.

Center, Inc., and an attached amendment establishing the per diem service cost

services to the Williamsport Area School District for students who are court
ordered into their program and those specifically referred by the District.
The per diem service rate for 2006-07 is $41.00 and is budgeted in the general
fund.

Consider approving a Letter of Agreement with Child Guidance Services to
provide para-professional Home-School Visitor services to the families of
students referred by administrators in the District. This service is an

the homes of students experiencing difficulties at school, reducing problematic
behaviors. Service levels are limited to available grant funds from June 1,
