Sandusky arraignment delayed amid plea talk and house arrest
The former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky remains under house arrest as plea-bargain talks surface. His next court appearance, an arraignment, is set for January 11. Prosecutors and defense lawyers described how accusers fear reliving abuses if required to testify. Sandusky arrived at the county courthouse with his wife, while reporters and residents watched. The case traces to alleged abuse across hotels, a basement, and Penn State showers, with The Second Mile charity linked to his career. Two university officials face perjury and failure to report abuse charges, creating a broader scandal that toppled university leadership.

Meehan, a former teacher and principal, described the accreditation as an honor and accomplishment. The Middle States commission, founded in 1920, evaluates secondary schools and requires reassessment every three years to verify progress toward district goals. Tomorrow the board may reimburse booster clubs about $5,000 spent on basketball and softball uniforms, though no new uniforms funds are planned.
