New Superintendent Carolyn Pate-Hefty Unveils Vision for Manheim Township Schools
Carolyn Pate-Hefty, the newly appointed superintendent, shared her vision for the upcoming year at a Manheim Township school board meeting. She plans to enhance the district's reputation and improve educational outcomes for students.
Pate-Hefty wants to boost the district's ranking in U.S. News & World Report's list of best Pennsylvania districts. She also aims to increase reading proficiency among students and maximize Medicaid access for those in need.
To achieve these goals, she plans to focus more on mental health support for both teaching staff and students. Additionally, she aims to create a more discreet waiver system for economically disadvantaged students to pay fees.
The board has approved the establishment of two new clubs: the Dance Team Club at the middle school and Sustainable Projects for Reviving Our Underappreciated Tomorrow (SPROUT) at the high school. Furthermore, the board has opened facilities planning to the public by changing to a committee of the whole. The first meetings of this committee are scheduled for Oct. 23 and Dec. 4.
Pate-Hefty also plans to update the district's signage and branding.
Pate-Hefty's plans for the coming year include improving the district's ranking, enhancing student outcomes, and increasing mental health support. The board has approved new clubs and opened facilities planning to the public. Meanwhile, a district resident has requested the removal of two books from the middle school library due to sexual content.
