members of our student assistance (CARE) teams. Consider approval of the
Qualified Service Organization Agreement which enables West Branch Drug and
Alcohol Abuse Commission to provide assessment and referral services as a part
of the student assistance program service they provide. These approvals do not
encumber WASD funding.

Consider approval of the operation of Camp Ophelia, a program focused on young
girls’ relational aggression, during summer of 2008. Camp is to be
operated by staff trained in the Ophelia methodology. Tamra Springman, a
member of the professional staff at Roosevelt Middle School will organize and
lead the program. The program will be expanded to include up to thirty-six
participants, the equivalent of two weeks of programming. Mrs. Springman will
be paid $950 per week for the week of camp and for one week to organize,
prepare, and secure additional funding for the camp. One other
Ophelia-experienced professional will staff the camp (Carol DeSilva, contract
approved previously). Due to the size of the camp another staff member, Janice
Saffel, will be included, at the $950 rate. One counselor from Curtin Middle
School, Marjorie Stopper, will also assist and learn the Ophelia concept and
process and will be reimbursed $760 for four days. One experienced aide, Linda
