Board leadership announced several community and governance items at the Nov. 6 Committee of the Whole.

Harding renaming public forum: The board said it will host a public session at Harding Elementary on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 6 p.m. to present and receive feedback on a proposal to rename the school. The session will allow community members to view the original proposal, provide feedback and sign up if they would like to serve on a review committee; any committee recommendation would later come to the full board for consideration.

District historian application deadline extended: The board announced it will extend the application due date for the district historian position to Nov. 30. The review and interview process will involve a committee that includes board members and other stakeholders, with a recommendation to the full board anticipated in January.

PSBA recognition: Board leadership said the district received a Pennsylvania School Boards Association award for school board innovation recognizing the creation of the student leadership program. The board said representatives and partners have expressed interest in the model.

Provenance: The renaming public post, historian extension, and the PSBA award announcement were made as part of the "any other matter" segment of the meeting and in board governance committee remarks.
