The King of Discombobulation
POTTSTOWN, PA – It appears that Team Hylton, members of which can be directly tied to the staggering lack of progress in the Pottstown School District over the past five years, has successfully recruited a new member…recently elected board member Andrew Kefer. Kefer, who was elected to the Pottstown school board this past November,... »
Sleepy, Slappy and Sleazy
POTTSTOWN, PA – Who doesn’t love Walt Disney’s classic 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

POTTSTOWN, PA – We just can’t say any simpler…in the best interest of the Pottstown taxpayers, Pottstown School Board President Rick Huss needs to resign.
