Lackawanna Trail Board of Education votes to remain within Act 1 index

Members of the Lackawanna Trail Board of Education voted to remain within the Act 1 index of 3.1 percent for any possible tax increase for the 2018-2019 school year during a regular meeting Jan. 8, according to superintendent Matthew Rakauskas.

Members of the board also approved the appointment of Ashley Chuck as girls volleyball head coach.

The Jan. 8 meeting also served as school board recognition night. Students presented board members with certificates, and members of the high school madrigal group sang and thanked the board members for supporting the arts, curriculum and sports, among other areas.
