State Board proposes abolishing county superintendents in Pa
The Pennsylvania State Board of Education voted to dissolve 66 county superintendent offices and replace them with 25 intermediate units. The plan aims to streamline administration, with units serving as service agencies only, and no supervisory powers. A $4.5 million first-year funding is requested for 1968-69, allocated by the existing subsidy formula.

Citizens urge transfer of students to Pollock
Angelo J. Barletto leading a Pollock School citizens group urged the New Castle School Board to move students from Lincoln-Garfield and Thaddeus Stevens to Pollock to relieve overcrowding. Pollock now enrolls 122 compared with 421 at Lincoln-Garfield and 362 at Thaddeus Stevens. Barletto warned that closing Pollock would worsen the issue and argued repairing Pollock would cost less than building anew. Board member Arnold Satz questioned funding and noted Pollock lacks a gymnasium auditorium and library, calling its students among the most deprived.
