Lititz School Board approved contacting borough council to arrange a joint session to discuss reassessing local properties. The panel hopes to adjust valuations at the next triennial assessment period and review figures for equity. A new commercial teacher was appointed, and maintenance on the gym, halls, and windows was completed with Duracrex paint to preserve the building and facilitate cleaning. State funding for the coming year will match last year’s $16,858.98 but may drop in the following year.
