Antietam School District

What Antietam School District does

Antietam School District is a public K-12 school district organized under Pennsylvania school law, serving approximately 1,065 students across three schools within a 5.3-square-mile catchment covering Mt. Penn Borough and Lower Alsace Township in Berks County, Pennsylvania, with a resident population of approximately 7,500. The district operates Stony Creek Elementary School (kindergarten through third grade, currently housed in modular units pending a new permanent building in 2027), Kerry C. Hoffman Intermediate School (approximately 450 students in grades 4-8), and Antietam High School (approximately 400 students in grades 9-12, located in Mount Penn Borough). Supplementary programs include the Antietam Virtual Academy (online learning), the S.M.I.L.E.S before/after-school enrichment program, the CLIMB community outreach initiative, the Safe2Say Something anonymous safety reporting system integrated with P3Campus, and specialized services for the 19.22% of students identified for special education.

The district's academic product surface includes honors and Advanced Placement tracks at the high school level, dual-enrollment for college credit through a partnership with Reading Area Community College, and access to 35 technical career pathways via the Berks County Career and Technical Centers. Administrative technology is built on standard K-12 platforms: Finalsite for web presence, Skyward for student information and free/reduced-lunch processing, Arbiter for athletic registration, MVP Banking and Fulton Bank for real estate tax collection, and Weglot for multilingual website access in English, Spanish, French, Haitian Creole, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. The student body has shifted from less than 5% culturally diverse fifteen years ago to more than 45% today, and over 52% of students qualify for the school lunch program, both indicators of demographic and socioeconomic change the district has responded to with expanded ESL services and multilingual communications.

The district's revenue model is government funding rather than commercial pricing: services are provided at no tuition to district residents, with operations financed by a 51.3-mill local property tax in 2025-2026 plus Pennsylvania state education subsidies and federal grants, distributed through a millage paid in four installments annually with a 2% early-payment discount and a 5% late-payment penalty. Governance is provided by an elected nine-member Board of School Directors led by President Kyla Ramsey, Vice President Jennifer Ann Miller, and Treasurer Lorraine Storms; Dr. Timothy Matlack serves as Superintendent and District Open Records Officer. Operational leadership includes Stacy Stair (Director of Finance and Business Services), Christian Murray (Athletic Director and AVA Coordinator), and Kenneth Bonkoski (Supervisor of Facilities and Maintenance). As a public entity, the district has no private shareholders, parent company, or acquisition activity; mergers, restructuring, and leadership-change records are absent in the source material.
