The Peters Township School Board took a run of the mill February action meeting and highlighted it with two appointments. First, Joe Deegan was sworn in as a new school board director. He is finishing the balance of Dr. Jamison Hardy’s term because Hardy had to move from the area due to job obligations. Deegan is a Principal/Partner with Ernst and Young. He hopes to bring his expertise to help the district maintain its high quality educational standards. The board also appointed Dr. Jeannine French to another five year term as Superintendent of Peters Township School District. Daniel Taylor, Chairman of Personnel for the school board pointed to French’s ability to deliver top tier performance on student test scores while managing to oversee the construction of a new high school and manage the districts response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. French expressed gratitude to the board for her reappointment. The contract for Dr. French will run through June of 2026.
