The 2013 Baldwin Invite gets a sponsor.
Terry Choate Resigns Whitehall Borough resident Terry Choate, who used public-comments time during a March 16 Baldwin-Whitehall School Board meeting to express his dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of district buses, has resigned from his position as an extra bus driver for the district. The school board accepted his resignation, dated for Jan. 4, by an 8-1 vote at its meeting on Wednesday night. Board member Martin Michael Schmotzer dissented. Choate said on March 16 that he is a 35-year administrator of transportation. "I have never seen so many rules and regulations not followed at that (Baldwin-Whitehall) bus garage," Choate said. "You can't sweep bacteria out of a bus with a broom." Following Choate's March 16 speech, board member…

Senior Daniel McTiernan earns first place.
Do you have images from this event, too? Add them to our media gallery by clicking on one of the green "Upload Photos and Videos" buttons above. Don't forget to add captions! Daniel McTiernan played piano and sang his way into first place at a Baldwin High School talent show on Tuesday night. The show was presented by the Baldwin High girls lacrosse program for the fourth straight year and brought over 200 people into the high school's auditorium to enjoy 17 acts, including McTiernan's humor-infused, crowd-energizing performance of a Justin Timberlake medley. Sha-quea Hatch and A'shanti Anderson's joint acting routine was hilarious enough to earn the duo a second-place finish, and the team of Steven Andrulonis and Darien Babinger captured …

Baldwin High School Literary Guild students clean, then stock, the shelves of the Pittsburgh Carmalt library.
Sheila May-Stein just keeps finding books. And now, the Baldwin High School Literary Guild has found her. In an age when many question the positives of social media and children's Internet use, it's librarian May-Stein's Internet meme that has brought positive change to an elementary school in Pittsburgh's Overbrook neighborhood—with a little help on Friday from the high-school students of Baldwin-Whitehall. "The smartest and most sarcastic kids in the building," as Baldwin High English teacher and Literary Guild sponsor Keith Harrison lovingly calls them, were at Pittsburgh Carmalt Academy of Science and Technology that day to help May-Stein to stock Carmalt's skinny library shelves. The Baldwin students were responding to a call to …

The board will consider charging students for extracurricular activities.
'Pay to Play' "I think the time has come" were the words of Baldwin-Whitehall School Board member Kevin J. Fischer on Wednesday night describing his motion for B-W School District administrators to develop a fee structure for student participation in extracurricular activities. Fischer did not motion for a fee structure to be implemented just yet, only to be developed and studied. Fellow board member Nancy Sciulli DiNardo seconded Fischer's motion "for conversation," and the motion passed, 9-0. This isn't the first time that B-W board members have discussed "pay to play." "I have mixed emotions for this (paying for activities)," board member Nancy Lee Crowder said in April, acknowledging that extracurricular activities are part of students…

Refinancing Leads to Big Savings An Internet bond auction on Wednesday morning has led to big savings for the Baldwin-Whitehall School District, according to Jamie Doyle, of Public Financial Management—the district's financial adviser regarding debt. Doyle spoke at Wednesday night's B-W School Board meeting to reveal that Bank of New York Mellon Capital Markets had won that morning's auction to refinance a general obligation bond that the school board issued in 2005. BNY Mellon's winning interest rate bid was approximately 1.54 percent on $4,945,000, with no bond insurance required due to Baldwin-Whitehall's, as Doyle puts it, "excellent credit rating." Moody's Investors Service has assigned B-W an Aa3 credit rating, which Doyle said is …

Leftovers from an April 11 B-W School Board meeting.
Principal Change at Whitehall In keeping with soon-to-be-Superintendent Dr. Randal A. Lutz's reorganization of Baldwin-Whitehall School District administration, the B-W School Board has moved Andrea Huffman from her position as the principal of Whitehall Elementary School to the position of director of curriculum for the entire district.

Remaining notes from a March 14 Baldwin-Whitehall School Board meeting.
B-W School Officials Won't Enforce New Eligibility Policy (Yet) Read here. Brian Welles Out as Baldwin H.S.'s Boys Soccer Coach The Baldwin-Whitehall School Board opened all boys soccer coaching positions at Baldwin High School, effective Thursday morning, by an 8-0 vote on Wednesday night. (Board member Nancy Sciulli DiNardo was absent.) Brian Welles resigned as head coach of the program, and as is customary, the board opened up all of his assistant coaching positions so that a new head coach can hire his or her own staff. Welles' assistants can reapply to be on the new coaching staff, including applying for the head coaching position. Assistant Coach Richard Deemer, already the head coach of Baldwin's girls lacrosse program, said that he…
