Gov. Shapiro visits Antietam School District
Governor Josh Shapiro and Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin visited Antietam School District Monday morning, the site of catastrophic flooding last summer, to announce that 109 Pennsylvania school districts will receive grants of up to $7.9 million to create safer facilities for students and educators through the elimination of lead, mold, asbestos, and other environmental hazards. Last summer, Antietam Middle-Senior High School experienced significant damage from the flooding, leaving the building unusable. Antietam School District will now receive $7,831,350 through PDE’s Environmental Repairs Grant program for repairs and construction at the site of the former Antietam Middle-Senior High School – the maximum amount awarded to any district.
