A veteran Ligonier Valley administrator is poised to take on the role of superintendent this summer.
The school board this week chose high school Principal Tim Kantor to succeed Superintendent Christine Oldham, who is set to retire June 30. Terms of Kantor’s contract for the top administrative position have yet to be finalized, according to district officials.
Kantor, who served the district in various capacities for almost 20 years, has “all the tools in his bag” for the new role, said school board President Jack McDowell, a former district teacher. “There’s no replacement for experience. We decided we had a perfect candidate in the district. Tim is a good man.”

All Ligonier Valley students in grades 7-12 will be able to return to a hybrid instructional model, beginning Tuesday.
District officials decided to make the move to a weekly mix of in-classroom and at-home lessons following two consecutive weeks when covid-19 transmission rates in Westmoreland County were at state-defined moderate levels, down from previous substantial levels.
Many students at Ligonier Valley’s middle school and high school have been learning at home full-time, with online instruction, because of recent heightened covid-19 pandemic concerns.
