Greetings!

Another summer has quickly passed and we are all preparing for another excellent school year in Manchester Township.  Although school was not in session, it was not a quiet summer.  Our administrators and teachers took time to review curriculum, create new schedules and implement professional development activities to ensure our students receive the best education possible.  Summer is also the time for our custodial and grounds personnel to make repairs to ensure all of our schools are safe and clean for the return of our students.  The Township also assisted the school district by providing paving for the Ridgeway and Middle Schools.

Although we continue to make repairs in our facilities, some areas such as our roofs, athletic facilities and high school auditorium need major attention that cannot be addressed with our regular budget.  This is the reason we are presenting another referendum to the voters on Sept. 29.  The referendum addresses needed safety repairs, maximizes state aid, and allows the addition of solar panels that will generate income for the district every year.  We are counting on the support of the community to address these critical areas to ensure that we can provide a safe and positive learning environment for all of our students.

If you would like more information on the referendum, please visit our website or contact my office.  Thank you for your continued support of the Manchester Township School District.

David Trethaway, Superintendent
