The Colonial IU 20 is one of 29
intermediate units throughout Pennsylvania,
which were created to provide services to school districts in ways that create
economies of scale, cost savings, and better efficiencies in the delivery of
important programs and services to children, especially those with special
needs. It also plays an important role in providing substantial support
services to the administrators and teachers in the districts that comprise IU
20.
The IU-20 serves 13
school districts and 3 career and technical centers in Northampton,
Monroe, and PikeCounties
that contain 79,000 public school children; 9,000 non-public school children;
and 7,000 professional staff in a service region of almost 1,200 square miles.
This new Academy provides specialized education
programs to at-risk and severely handicapped students from ages 14 – 21 in a
single location. The facility was designed to stimulate these students by
intentionally avoiding the ‘red brick’ schoolhouse and traditional school
approach. The building contains administration, general classrooms, technical
education, special education and independent living skills rooms, media center,
art room, multi-purpose room, kitchen and support areas.
The IU-20 also provides transportation for all
students from their home districts. A free-standing transportation facility
with offices for its director, staff, bus driver training, service and wash bay
was also constructed on the site to provide maintenance of the fleet of
vehicles.
