Text Box: around the Center, and other continuous improvements too numerous to mention. Safe School Initiative The Safe School Team continued to work on collaborative discipline procedures with our school districts and we maintained a positive relationship with the SRO we share with the Oil City School District. Late in the 2006-2007 school year we submitted our school safety program to PDE and updated all related Memorandums of Understanding that we are required to have with local law enforcement and related agencies. Also, there was no increase in the number of incidents we reported on the PDE’s Violence and Weapons report, PDE-360 compared with the 2005-2006 school year.

State subsidies are dependent upon the completion of this integration, so our completion of this process is of extreme importance. NOCTI standards remain the primary standards currently used to track student achievement and evaluate our school. Other standards that we continue to practice in varying degrees include A+ certification, numerous Microsoft certifications, State P.N. licensing, State Nurse Aide Certification, CDL, AWS, ETS, NIMS, ASE, and the State Board of Cosmetology licensing process. Secondary School Program Statistics The Venango Technology Center serves 7 sending schools from 6 school districts: Cranberry Area, Forest Area, Franklin Area, Oil City Area, Titusville Area, and Valley Grove. There are 14 instructional areas, 5 of which are designated as “tech prep.” The beginning enrollment for the 2006-2007 school year was 680 - about the same as the 2005-2006 school year. Preliminary enrollment figures for the 2007-2008 school year indicate that the Center will once again be equal to or greater than the set total quota to begin the year (slightly over 700 when the
