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

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

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

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

Penn College opens LPN to RN program to paramedics, surgical technologists

Williamsport, Pa. — Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College) is opening its LPN to RN associate degree program to paramedics and surgical technologists, allowing them to earn an associate degree in nursing in as few as three semesters. The newly named RN Bridge Program will be available to students applying for the Fall 2028 semester, the college said. It previously admitted only licensed practical nurses. Amber L. Morgan, director of nursing: associate degrees, said the change “aims to create pathways for non-nurse healthcare professionals who wish to become RNs by allowing them to build on their existing knowledge, skills and experience rather than requiring them to enter a traditional RN program designed for students with little to no healthcare background.” “This change is so important because it creates a more efficient pathway into the nursing profession at a time when healthcare organizations continue to face significant nursing workforce shortages,” Morgan said. “Surgical technologists, paramedics and licensed practical nurses already possess extensive medical knowledge, clinical experience and patient care skills that align with many of the foundational concepts taught in nursing education.” The nursing coursework follows a Friday-Saturday schedule, with one day of synchronous online instruction and the other of hands-on
