Dr. Michael D. ThewExecutive Director

The 2010-2011 school/fiscal year brought many challenges, along with new and different ser-

vice requests to the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12. The economy had a big effect on the finan-cial aspects of our services and we learned to perform more while having less. Even thoughwe had financial challenges, the LIU 12 continued to strive toward meeting the educationalneeds of our constituent school districts and partner agencies. Our staff did an excellent job intheir performance and we again provided direct services to over 25,000 students (birth to age21) and we served over 8,600 adult learners. Overall, our services reached upwards of80,000 students across our three counties (Adams, Franklin and York) comprised of 25 schooldistricts, one career and technology center, one school of technology and 83 nonpublicschools.

As an educational service agency, we collaborated with our school districts, partner agencies,the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and with the 28 other Intermediate Units acrossthe Commonwealth in providing services. By collaborating, we were able to provideeducational solutions that make a difference.

Please take a few minutes to review this report. We are very proud of the services we provideto our member school districts and partner agencies. We welcome your comments, questionsand reflections in response to this report. Please feel free to contact me at 717.624.6404 orvia email to [email protected].

Dr. Judith A.M. HigginsBoard President

From the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 Board of School Directors, I would like to present, along with the Ad-

ministration, the 2010-2011 Annual Report. We, the Board, believe that the education of our children, of all

abilities and talents, should remain a primary goal of our society. As elected volunteers representing the

school districts of Adams, Franklin and York counties, we strive to support the initiatives and efforts that willaccomplish that result. Regardless of enthusiasm, we also face the same challenges in education as we do

in our communities trying to do more with less, being creative and thrifty with the resources we have while

still meeting the needs of our districts and the districts students. With new, as well as ongoing, financial

challenges being placed on this Board such as declining state and federal revenue, growing student needs

and increased populations, hard decisions are looming on how to provide the supports and tools needed to

serve the children and families of these counties.

Despite these challenges, the professionals of the Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 are recognized across the

Commonwealth for delivering leading edge research, providing professional development to all members ofour educational community, as well as other initiatives. Additionally, the IU assists districts by maximizing the

fiscal power of the districts through collaborative ventures. Whether developing protocol for dealing with head

injuries and concussions, promoting healthy starts through early interventions for pre-schoolers or partnering

to maximize taxpayer dollars through joint purchasing, the LIU 12 maintains a student centered focus. Now,

as funds become scarcer, IU 12 professionals seek opportunities to develop marketable services that align

with core goals, and we, the Board, encourage this entrepreneurial spirit, recognizing that creativity and over-

coming challenges improve opportunities for every child. This Boards commitment exists because we know

that we are truly making a difference in the lives of our many students, their families, and communities.

It is an honor, as the President of the Lincoln Intermediate School Board of Directors, to provide this service

and support and hope that this report will be of assistance in understanding our mission.

With warm regards,

Judith A. M. Higgins, Ed.D.

Providing technology infrastructure, products, and expertise is the goal of the Technology Ser-vices Division. We serve the LIU staff, as well as our member school districts and educationpartners. To support our member schools/education partners, we provide a wide range of tech-nology services and products. During 2010-2011, we expanded our coverage and offeringsthrough the PAIUnet and the Lincoln Learning Network.

This year was the first of a three year technology revitalization plan. During the LIUs strategicplanning process, technology infrastructure was identified as one of the key enabling elementsin achieving our organizational goals. Special funding was set aside in the 2010-2011 budget torefresh and upgrade the technology infrastructure of the LIU. The second and third years of thislong term strategy will focus on providing these new technology solutions across the organiza-tion. In year two, we plan to develop prototype applications and field test them in an actual edu-cational environment. This will be followed in year three with large scale implementation of ap-plications and technology interventions throughout the enterprise. Specific accomplishments

this year include:

establishing a virtualization environment upgrading key workhorse applications (email, telephony, and integrated messaging

systems) installing a highly available SharePoint development and production farm for application

development and deployment

This past year, the Technology Services Division: responded to 3,715 requests for technical support completed 172 video conferences provided 102 student days for technical training provided classes to 154 students through the Graduate Teacher Education Program.
