The Bradford Area School District is a mid-sized, rural and suburban, public school district in north central Pennsylvania.
The district encompasses approximately 250 square miles (650 km2). It serves the City of Bradford, Borough of Lewis Run and Bradford Township, Corydon Township, Foster Township and Lafayette Township in McKean County, Pennsylvania. According to 2000 federal census data it served a resident population of 21,772. By 2010, the district's population declined to 21,088 people. In 2009, the residents' per capita income was $17,538 a year, while the median family income was $41,646.
According to Bradford Area School District officials, in school year 2007–08, the District provided basic educational services to 2,932 pupils through the employment of 220 teachers, 144 full-time and part-time support personnel, and 20 administrators. Bradford Area School District received more than $18.9 million in state funding in school year 2007–08.
The District operates four buildings:
140 Lorana Av., Bradford, PA 16701
81 Interstate Parkway, Bradford, PA 16701
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Education, there are fewer than 2700 students enrolled in K-12. There were 253 students in the Class of 2009. The senior class of 2010 has 241 students.
Enrollment in Bradford Area School District is projected to continue to decline by 250 students by 2015. With limited local taxation resources, opportunities for students are limited. Consolidation of the administrations with adjacent school districts would achieve substantial administrative cost savings for people in each community. These excessive administrative overhead dollars could be redirected to improve lagging mathematics and science achievement, to enrich the academic programs or to substantially reduce property taxes. Consolidation of the central administrations would not require the closing of schools.
