West York superintendent recognizes retirees, notes middle‑school principal resignation; district introduces new NJROTC instructor and third‑grade teacher

Superintendent Jane told the West York Area School District board the district is saying goodbye to a group of long‑tenured employees and acknowledged the resignation of Anthony Campbell as middle‑school principal.

The departures announced included classroom teachers, aides and support staff with service ranging from seven to 35 years. Superintendent Jane named the following retirees: Mrs. Carl (21 years, high‑school social studies and gifted program), Miss Gano (23 years, high‑school social studies), Linda Green (27 years, health‑room assistant at Tremor), Cindy Rose (7 years, middle school health room), Scott Rakowski (11 years, district director of food services), Dash (35 years, food‑service staff), Kathy Strathmeyer (15 years, high‑school business teacher) and Marsha Bopple (23 years, district aide, latterly at Wallace Elementary). The superintendent offered the district’s thanks and best wishes to each retiree.

Superintendent Jane also told trustees that the board accepted Anthony Campbell’s resignation as middle‑school principal at a June 3 ad‑hoc meeting. The superintendent summarized Campbell’s service: Campbell graduated from West York in 2003, returned in 2007 to teach social studies at the middle school, later became assistant principal and began serving as building principal in 2018 for seven years. The superintendent said Campbell will remain part of the community as a resident and parent; no successor was named during the meeting.

The board was also introduced to two new staff members. Ryan Anderson, introduced as a retired U.S. Navy captain, was presented as the district’s new NJROTC instructor; the superintendent said Anderson has more than 25 years of service in the Navy Supply Corps and holds graduate degrees in business administration, national security and defense acquisition. Sadie McCullough was introduced as the newest Lincoln Way third‑grade teacher; the superintendent said McCullough is a 2021 West York graduate and a 2025 Millersville University graduate in early‑childhood education with a minor in integrated STEM methods.

Discussion points and next steps

- The board publicly thanked retirees and wished them well; no personnel actions to fill the listed retirements were taken in the meeting record shown. - The board previously accepted Anthony Campbell’s resignation at an ad‑hoc meeting (June 3); the transcript does not record a named replacement or an interim assignment. - New hires were introduced to the board; onboarding and program development (NJROTC recognition efforts) were noted by staff but no formal vote on those hires appears in the transcript excerpt.

The superintendent closed the personnel portion of the meeting by expressing appreciation for the departing staff and welcoming new employees to the district.
