At first glance, it seemed like a major upgrade for the school’s athletics. Installed to show videos, graphics, a scoreboard, and many other things, this modern board would bring the energy State High needs. Fans were excited to see the first showing of it. As the first volleyball game started, fans’ excitement soon began to fade when they came to the realization that it could only do one thing: show graphics. Buying a brand new video board was not worth it since they can not play videos on it.

As GLP-1 costs rise, some Pa. school districts rethink coverage

Early in 2026, Pennridge School District leaders delivered the news that they were increasing property taxes for a second straight year to deal with budget holes that persisted despite cutback attempts. Several usual suspects were driving the Bucks County district’s financial strain, they explained, including rising special education costs and cyber charter tuitions . But as officials crunched the numbers, they kept stumbling over a new financial millstone: A boom in use of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs among their staff. More: Bucks County school taxes rising 4% on average in 2026-27 | Exclusive As medications like Wegovy and Zepbound shift obesity management in the U.S., educators and staff at Pennridge have increasingly turned to them along with everyone else. While just about 10 or 15 district employees were on anti-obesity drugs in 2023, that total rocketed to 120 three years later, according to an analysis reviewed by district officials . Costs have followed a similar trajectory in Pennridge, which covers the medications in their health plan and has seen spending rise from about $86,000 in 2023 to nearly $1.3 million by 2026. “Folks are getting Wegovy left and right,” Superintendent Angelo Berrios said during an April 2026 board meeting . “We

'Do something greater.' Athens HS teen 3rd sibling to make Eagle Scout

Earning an Eagle Scout award is typically the pinnacle of a Scout's career, but for Holden McKeever, he was barely getting started. McKeever, from Bentley Creek in Bradford County and a senior at Athens Area High School, actually qualified for his Eagle rank three years ago when he was 14, but he didn't want recognition for it — at least not yet. Instead, McKeever wanted to earn as many merit badges as possible, and while he only needed 23 to earn his Eagle badge, he is currently at 141 out of 143 possible badges. "For me, it was something — I wanted to do something greater," said McKeever, now 17. "I still want to do something more. I didn't want that to be it." Some of McKeever's motivation might come from the fact that several other family members are Eagle Scouts — including his sister Abigail, who became the first girl from the Five Rivers Council to achieve that rank after the Boy Scouts of America (now known as Scouting America) started accepting girls as members. Local history A quick history of Miller's Pond, from early land grant to today But McKeever is also an overachiever in his own right,
