Thanks to Judge Kistler, and Dr. Mextorf for putting together this ceremony.  A special thanks to the old board for both your service and making Penni and me feel so welcome.  I’m still a little overwhelmed, but the old board, the superintendent, and his staff have really eased my transition to the school board.  Thank you!

Mextorf was officially appointed as the next superintendent of the State College Area School District.  His term will start on July 1.  His background in music meshes well with a real area of strength in our school district.

Here’s the official story.  I wish the best of luck to Dr. Mextorf and a happy retirement to Dr. Best.
