1. 'Not A Good Match For Me': Lower Merion School Superintendent To Resign (patch.com) — Parents in Ardmore and the rest of Lower Merion will soon see another leadership change, as Superintendent Dr. Frank Ranelli plans to resign at the end of April after just over a year on the job. His departure follows months of controversy over mandatory district-issued technology for students, heated school board meetings, alleged threats against officials, and ongoing lawsuits from local parents challenging the tech policies.
2. The highest-paid employees at Main Line Health (inquirer.com) — A regional newsletter highlights Main Line Health's top non-CEO salaries and notes that Inquirer critic Craig LaBan recently reviewed OGYU, Ardmore's all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spot known for its wagyu selection. It also flags nearby events, a Radnor High vaccine clinic, and a pricey local home listing, giving Ardmore-area readers a snapshot of what's happening around the Main Line.
3. Jam Heavyweights Raise Over $40,000 At 'Rock The Pink' Breast Cancer Benefit (liveforlivemusic.com) — A star-studded Rock the Pink concert at Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore raised more than $40,000 for the American Cancer Society, supporting breast cancer research and patient programs. Jam-band regulars from moe., Disco Biscuits, Goose, and String Cheese Incident delivered two themed sets of "pink" songs and classics, and locals can still watch video highlights and stream the full show online.
4. Merion Golf Club becomes the fourth anchor site for USGA (timesunion.com) — Merion Golf Club in Ardmore has been named one of the USGA's four permanent "anchor sites," guaranteeing multiple U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open championships there through 2050. For Ardmore-area residents, that means recurring global attention, visitor traffic, and economic activity tied to some of golf's biggest events over the next quarter-century.
