Superintendent pitches academic, facility and financial goals; board to review
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Veil presented proposed 2025–26 goals including secondary-schedule academic adjustments, new half-credit classes at the high school, a long-range facilities plan that contemplates a new middle school at the Hambright/Manor Middle site, and a three-year financial guide tied to a ratified three-year staff agreement.
Superintendent Dr. Veil outlined the Penn Manor School District’s proposed goals for 2025–26 during the June 9 Committee of the Whole, emphasizing academic opportunities at the secondary level, ongoing facilities planning and a multi-year financial guide.
On academics, the superintendent said the district will refine the secondary schedule and introduce additional half‑credit marking-period courses at the high school to broaden student options. On facilities, he said the district — working with consultants and engineers — is exploring a consolidated new middle school at the existing Hambright/Manor Middle School footprint and reviewing options for Central Manor, Ashland and Leacock to determine next steps.
Financially, the superintendent noted a recently ratified three‑year agreement with the teachers’ association that covers the 2026–27 through 2028–29 school years and said the board’s proposed three‑year strategic financial guide builds on that settlement. Board members were asked to send any comments or suggested edits to the superintendent by July 1; formal approval of the goals is expected in July.
Board members and the superintendent also discussed how facility changes could affect student assignment, teacher resources and the support services those changes will require; the facilities committee will continue work over the summer with recommendations to follow.
