Bethel Park Board of School Directors
The responsibility of the Board is to provide for students’ educational needs by establishing
budgets, hiring staff, providing facilities, establishing curriculum and determining policies.
All Board meetings are held at 7 PM in the Thomas A. Knight Memorial Community Room of
the Bethel Park School District Administration Building. When conditions permit, the public is
invited to attend and participate in all meetings. Board meetings are also live-streamed on the
district’s YouTube channel.
There are two primary types of school board meetings: Committee Meetings and Regular
Meetings. With the exception of August and December, Committee Meetings are typically held
on the third Tuesday of each month for the purpose of allowing the Board to discuss and
conduct the general business of the school district. Formal action may be taken by the Board
Barry Christenson Jim Modrak Vince Scalzo at these meetings, but generally, action is taken at the Regular (voting) Meeting, which has

most up-to-date meeting times and dates.
Scheduled meetings for the 2021-2022 school year are scheduled as follows:

speaker must state his/her name, address and group’s name (if applicable). People watching the
meetings remotely may also speak at the public meetings by calling 412-851-6911. Comments will
be limited to two minutes. Topics for remarks may include school operations or school programs.

The Bethel Park School District: A Year to Remember

otherwise been a very dark and forgettable period. We accept that even though most of our staff and many of our families have been vaccinated, the

Still, if the events of the past year-and-a-half have taught us nothing else it is that no matter what

spread,” and “flattening the curve,” became a part of our everyday vernacular. More importantly, at we hope that you will join us in helping to make the 2021-2022 school year A Year to Remember!
Bethel Park, our families faithfully heeded the guidance they were receiving which allowed our
school district to have better outcomes than many of our neighboring communities. That allowed us
to return to four days per week of in-person instruction by the spring and has us on track to resume
a full five-day in-person instructional week when we return in August.
A group of Bethel Park High School students – sophomore, Martina Tatalias; and seniors, Tanush
Bahl, Ethan Donovan, Johny Ivanov, Christian McClaine, Demetrios Patrinos, Toby Roule and
Evan Zelt — used Google Data Studio, including Google Docs and Google Sheets, to create the
district’s comprehensive online COVID-19 dashboard. The project, which is believed to be the only
high school student-designed venture of its kind in the entire country, allowed the community to
track transmission rates at the various district schools as well as on a districtwide basis; and
measured trends to see how Bethel Park’s transmission rates compared with county and state
figures.
Teachers also adjusted, finding a series of exciting new ways to engage their students through multi-
media presentations. One such example was Franklin Elementary first grade teacher,
Mrs. Peggy Ann Clancy’s YouTube geography series, “Where in the World is Mrs. Clancy?”
The Morrow family of Logan Road used their time in quarantine to walk together for a cause and
eventually raised enough money to buy dozens of books for the elementary school libraries that
emphasized lessons on diversity. The Old Navy at South Hills Village donated hundreds of masks to
the elementary schools and high school student, Makayla Yee developed COVID-19 care packages
for her teachers to help keep them healthy and safe.
