WCASD Recieves EPA Grant

With the help of an EPA grant for $325,000, the West Chester Area School District is taking steps to create a healthier environment. The grant will help improve air quality and health in the district by funding the retrofitting of particulate filters that will reduce pollution on 65 WCASD buses.

Superintendant Alan Elko and EPA Regional Administrator Donald Welsh were some of the people on hand for a ceremony involving the grant at E.N. Pierce Middle School Monday. Members of Moms for the Future, a local group involved in enviornmental issues, were also present.
