ARIN Experiencing Telephone ProblemsThe ARIN Intermediate Unit 28 is experiencing a disruption to our telephone service. We are working with engineers and technicians at several communications companies to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. An Overview of District ARRA IDEA-B Funding
In February 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. ARRA’s short-term goal was to stimulate the economy. And, as a long-term goal, ARRA was investing in education and other essential public services to ensure economic health of our nation.
Special Education Supervision as a Service to ARIN Districts
In Blairsville-Saltsburg School District and Apollo-Ridge School District, Regina Geesey and Diane Sobolewski provide a variety of administrative services. The services range from attending individual IEP meetings to submitting the district special education plan as part of the e-strategic planning process. While they both provide similar services, there are differences based on the needs and requests of the district.
Universal Emergency Management SystemAs part of ARIN IU 28’s effort to assist local districts with school safety issues, ARIN contracted with Danny Sacco to provide a unified school safety plan. This school safety plan offers all districts a template that will provide emergency first responders a unified response to emergencies across the two-county area. This plan provides districts with a hazard vulnerability assessment to assist with the identification of district vulnerabilities identified by internal and external experts and all the tools necessary to complete the required all hazards plan. Once completed, this plan can be placed on a secure website for emergency first responders to use in the event they are needed. Northwest Regional Wide Area Network (WAN) Consortium
The Northwest PA Regional Wide Area Network (WAN), a consortium of three intermediate units (Northwest Tri-County IU 5, Riverview IU 6, and ARIN IU 28), was established through an Act 183 E-Fund grant provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The three-year grant (2007-2009) provided $5,205,682 to be shared across the consortium.
