COLUMBIA BOROUGH SCRUBS LIVESTREAM OF ZONING HEARING BOARD WITHOUT EXPLANATION

From Columbia News, Views & Reviews

"Wouldn't you know it? The borough "cleaned" the video from its facebook page. It's like the meeting never happened!. No explanation, no mea culpa, nothing ... The video that was there just evaporated. Wonder what else is missing? Have comments been removed? Why is this borough administration acting like this?"

'It's just time to leave': Columbia superintendent explains decision to part ways with district earlier than expected | Local News | lancasteronline.com

For Tom Strickler, serving as Columbia Borough School District's lame duck superintendent just wouldn't work.

The school board earlier this month hired Ashley Mercado, principal of Wickersham Elementary School in Lancaster, to replace Strickler. Instead of sticking it out until the end of the year when his contract expired, Strickler went on paid administrative leave.

Someone call Louis DeJoy and tell him to replace this thing.
