Board Of Education recognizes Karen Callis’ efforts at Chester County Middle School

Karen Callis, Chester County Middle School Librarian, has kept the Chester County Middle School children reading in a unique way.
The Chester County Board of Education recognized her for creating a virtual CCMS library for students this year during the pandemic. The virtual library is interactive, has an memoji of Callis and allows kids to read from a huge range of reading options such as the CCMS digital library, PBS, Sports Illustrated Kids, National Geographic Kids and more.
The board also gave 10 educators $50 Chamber Bucks packages each for the teachers who completed the TDOE Educator Survey. The teachers were selected from a drawing. The educators who received the packages are: (alphabetically) Lauren Barker, Heather Bates, Misti Elliott, Karisa Garner, Michael Goff, Jason Judd, Caryn Kemp, Carla Schmitt, Myra White and Amy Wood.
The first draft of the 2021-22 General Purpose and Federal Programs Budgets was approved by the board members.
The board also approved for the out-of-county tuition for Chester County students to remain at $600 per student or $900 per family.
