The Mechanicsburg Board of Education held its regular February meeting on Monday, February 9.
During the meeting, Superintendent Danielle Prohaska presented “Measures That Matter,” a report designed to highlight the hard work and accomplishments of students both inside and outside the classroom.
Prohaska, along with the district’s three principals, reviewed the district’s five strategic goals and explained how each school building is working to meet them. The presentation also included updates on technology, professional development, and district facilities, including improvements to a remodeled playground space.
Prohaska briefly summarized the presentation during the meeting.
In other business, the board announced Margie Salyers as the February Golden Tomahawk Award recipient. The award recognizes a staff member who demonstrates exceptional dedication to the district and to student success.
Salyers, the elementary school secretary, was described as the face of the elementary school. She was nominated for the honor by colleagues and also announced her retirement at the conclusion of the current school year.
Prohaska also addressed the continued support shown by the Mechanicsburg community following the passing of a student earlier in January, noting the impact the community’s response has had on students and staff.
Other business approved by the board included:
