THE ISSUE: Itâs Monday, the day we take a few moments to highlight the good news in Lancaster County. Some of these items are welcome developments on the economic front or for neighborhoods across the county. Others are local stories of achievement, perseverance, compassion and creativity that represent welcome points of light in a still-difficult time. All of this news deserves a brighter spotlight.
Renaming schools is bound to be a contentious matter, and there were more than two great options available for the School District of Lancaster at last weekâs school board meeting.
But we believe the board hit home runs with the two choices it made.
