• Northwest Pennsylvania Schools Face Continued Enrollment Decline (erienewsnow.com) — Families in the Girard School District are being warned that state projections show the district could lose nearly 400 students over the next decade, one of the steepest drops in northwest Pennsylvania. Local educators link the decline to population loss and growing online-school options, and say they’re already adjusting long-term plans for smaller student bodies.
