HOUTZDALE - The Moshannon Valley School Board of Directors heard last night from Josh Berndt who spoke on behalf of Alumni Football USA seeking permission to use the Moshannon Valley football field for alumni games.
District Superintendent Tonya DeVecchis-Kerr and board President Rod Kitko agreed the board needs to investigate the matter further since they had not heard about it before the meeting.
They asked Berndt for a written proposal, noting when they have all the information, they will make a decision.
Junior Class Advisor, Penny Diehl, spoke to the board regarding the 2013 prom and requesting permission to hold the prom at Christ the King Catholic Church facilities in Houtzdale. The prom has been held at Moshannon Valley School for 40 years, according to Rod Kitko. Diehl presented information about the cost to have it there, decorations, tear down issues as well as other matters. The board asked for additional information before making a decision.
In her report, DeVecchis-Kerr mentioned a power outage at the elementary school last week due to a break in the line.
