Superintendent Search
Dear Blackhawk Community and Staff,

Your local school board is about to launch a school superintendent search, and I have been selected to lead the effort.

My name is Dr. Edward Albert, former educator and school superintendent now serving as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools.  I am eager to get acquainted with as many of you as I can during this process because your input will have a crucial impact on the school board’s ultimate hiring decision.

I have created three activities for school and community involvement. My first priority is visiting schools (a date will be given shortly) to talk with staff. Next, I have planned a community night on to hear more about your interests and requirements for the next superintendent.

If you are unable to attend, you still have the opportunity to contribute. I have created an online survey to collect your thoughts and opinions. The survey will be accessible on the district website until October 31. I hope many of you will take the time to weigh in. We need to hear from you.

I look forward to conducting this search and working toward the ultimate goal of identifying the best candidate for your district.

The Beaver Falls Municipal Authority has begun a scheduled repair and repainting major capital project at our Chippewa Water Storage Tank located on 37th Street Extension in Chippewa.  This project will require complete draining of the tank, structural repairs, and painting both the inside and outside of the Water Tank.  This project will last approximately 6 months and should be completed in early September.   In order to keep pressure and water to the residents and businesses in Chippewa the Authority will have temporary storage tanks located throughout Chippewa for the duration of the project.  We want to assure all our customers that these temporary storage tanks are required to paint our tank and that the water is safe to drink.  Thank you for your understanding as we complete this $1,000,000 repair and painting of our Chippewa Tank.
