12 Years in a Row: No New School Taxes

For the 12th year in a row, the Bradford Area School Board will not be raising taxes.

The preliminary budget was introduced and approved during last night’s board meeting. It will be on display in the district office until it’s adopted at next month’s meeting.

Also during last night’s meeting, the board tabled a proposal that would hire a second school resource officer for the next school year. Assistant Superintendent Sam Johnson asked the board to put the measure on hold because Bradford City Police Chief Chris Lucco is trying to get grant money to pay the officer’s salary.

Current school resource officer Butch Bartlett was at last night’s meeting, and introduced some of the members of the high school’s Criminal Justice Club who recently traveled to Washington, D.C. The students presented a slide show and talked about the highlights of their trip.

Puglio, who served as drum major for the Marching Owls for two years, played songs on the alto and tenor saxophone.

The board also recognized students who received ribbons in the Special Olympics as well as student representative Andrew Scanlan, who is graduating in June and will attend Brown University to major in engineering.

The PA Association of School Retirees recognized teacher Linda Marovich, who is retiring after 40 years, and support staff member Christine Warfield Bartlett, who has worked in various capacities in the district for many years and also helps her husband with the Criminal Justice Club.

The board also heard a presentation on the Go Green Program and the district's Literacy Plan.
