East Lycoming school receives bomb threat same day as Union County school

Lairdsville, Pa. — Renn Elementary School was evacuated this morning after a bomb threat was called into the school, according to East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins. A bomb threat was also made to Linntown Intermediate School in Lewisburg this morning. Police have not said whether the two incidents are related. The call came to Renn Elementary School at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were contacted immediately, and the building was evacuated. Staff and school resource officers moved students safely to an off-site location, where they sheltered in place. When it became clear that state police K-9 units would need additional time to arrive and clear the building, the district began its parent reunification process. All students were either reunited with parents and guardians or sent home on school buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later completed a thorough sweep of the building and surrounding vehicles. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. Scoggins said no students or staff were injured. In a letter to families, Scoggins thanked district staff, Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement, the Lairdsville Community Volunteer Fire Company, St. Mark’s Church, the Lairdsville Cornerstone Restaurant, bus drivers, and parents and

Democrats take full control of Pennsylvania government. What does it mean for schools?

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania’s legislature will no longer be divided. Tuesday night’s Democratic midterm election sweep handed the party control of the swing state’s governorship and both chambers of the General Assembly, which could mean significant changes ahead for statewide education policy. For the first time in more than three decades, Pennsylvania will have a governing trifecta. Gov. Josh Shapiro coasted to reelection, Democrats expanded their majority in the state House, and gained control of the state Senate for the first time since 1993. Public school advocates hope the Democratic takeover will accelerate school funding efforts that Republican lawmakers had mostly resisted. Laura Boyce, executive director of the Pennsylvania chapter of the advocacy group Teach Plus, said Wednesday she spoke with lawmakers before and after the election. Their top education issues in the next legislative session will likely be increasing school funding, adding money for literacy programs, and tackling school construction and renovation, according to Boyce. “The divided government excuse for not doing things to help to

Philadelphia state test scores are months late. Now state officials want to change the cut scores.

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether

Lock Haven emerita makes major gift to university

Lock Haven, Pa. — Linda Koch, an emerita of Commonwealth University who spent 27 years at Lock Haven, made a major gift to support women’s athletics, international education, and the Perry T. Koch Memorial Scholarship through the Lock Haven University Foundation (LHUF), the university announced. The gift continues a relationship with the foundation that began almost 40 years ago. Since making her first gift in 1988, Koch has made more than 350 contributions in support of Lock Haven students. The university did not disclose the amount of the gift. Koch arrived at Lock Haven in 1987 as dean of students. Three years into her tenure, then-President Craig Willis created the position of vice president for student affairs, which she went on to hold. Her work put her in daily contact with students in residence halls, at campus events and during admissions open houses. “Lock Haven is a special place,” Koch said. “Lock Haven is home to me, and it will always be home to me. I can’t think of any other place that I’d rather be.” In 2001, Koch established the Perry T. Koch Memorial Scholarship in honor of her nephew, Perry, who developed disabilities early in his life.

Honesdale football falls to Valley View in District 2 quarterfinals

HONESDALE — A season that began with so much promise has come to a heartbreaking end for the Honesdale football team. On Friday, Nov. 6, the Hornets hosted Valley View in their first-ever District 2 home playoff game. But sadly for an overflow crowd at the Daniel J. O’Neill Sports Complex, the visiting Cougars simply had too many offensive weapons. Despite big plays from Gabe Duda, Abe Bryant, Jacob Ramos and Dontae Joseph, Honesdale suffered a 42-21 loss in the District 2 quarterfinals. Valley View scored in every quarter en route to the upset, thanks in large part to stellar performances from quarterback Colin Dempsey, wideout Cash Roe and running back Ben Evans.
