An O’Hara teacher seeking the Lower Valley magistrate office said his classroom experience positions him well to find practical solutions. Dave Turner, an attorney-turned-educator, said his teaching background might be even more useful than his experience in the courtroom. “Through education, I’ve gotten used to finding solutions for young men
The two-part plan lays the groundwork for integrating Bloomsburg University, Lock Haven and Mansfield University into one western institution, and California University of Pennsylvania, Clarion University and Edinboro University into a northeastern institution.
So far, praise for the plan has come from Pennsylvania’s higher education decision makers. PASSHE chancellor Daniel Greenstein, the Board of Governors and presidents at the universities marked for consolidation largely support the effort. The Board of Governors could vote to approve the plan as early as July.
Since the consolidation was announced last summer, Greenstein has framed the process as inevitable. He said during a State Senate hearing last month that if the board does not approve consolidation, he will recommend dissolving the state system.
The “Reverse Parade” is coming back to Springdale.
Officially known as the Senior Parade, it is scheduled for Tuesday, May 25 at 6 p.m. The rain date is the following evening.
It’s hosted by the Springdale High School Alumni Association and Dynamo Education Foundation.
An event borne out of the pandemic, the “Reverse Parade” was first held last year as a safe way to honor graduating seniors at Springdale High School.
The idea being that rather than parading in cars while onlookers lined the streets, the students would do the reverse stand along the road where they could safely socially distance as carloads and truckloads of family and friends drove by saluting them.

A plan that would merge six of Pennsylvania’s state universities into two regional schools moved forward Wednesday.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) board of governors voted 17-2 to initiate public review of the plan, moving one step closer to a major shakeup in Pennsylvania’s higher education landscape.
Wednesday’s vote is not final. It opens a 60-day comment period. PASSHE is planning to host at least two virtual forums on June 9 and 10. The board will take a binding vote on the integration plan in July.
The integration plan calls for two mergers, one in the northeastern region of the state and one in the western region. The proposed northeastern entity would consist of Lock Haven, Mansfield, and Bloomsburg Universities. Its western equivalent would include Clarion University, Edinboro University, and California University of Pennsylvania.
