Central Valley Board of Education appoints Sean McCrory as new superintendent

During the Central Valley Board of Education's work session on February 12, 2025, significant decisions were made that will impact the district's governance and financial management. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of all board members, followed by a report on an executive session that addressed personnel matters.

One of the key resolutions passed was the approval of the 2025-2026 Central Valley School Calendar, which will guide the academic year for students and staff. Additionally, the board authorized district officials to consent to private offers for two properties from the Beaver County repository of unsold properties. This includes a property on Cross Boulevard and another on Beck Beach Street, both of which have been associated with unpaid school district real estate taxes dating back to 2008.

The board also took steps to exonerate the collection of these unpaid taxes for the specified parcels, a move that could streamline financial operations and reduce administrative burdens related to tax collection.

In a notable personnel decision, the board appointed Sean McCrory as the new superintendent for a five-year term. This appointment is expected to bring fresh leadership to the district, with terms of employment to be negotiated between McCrory and the board.

The meeting concluded without public comments, but the decisions made are poised to have lasting effects on the district's operations and community engagement. As the board moves forward, the focus will be on implementing these resolutions effectively and ensuring a smooth transition in leadership.
