The Ligonier Valley School Board has less than five months to select someone to succeed Christine Oldham as superintendent. The board, at its February meeting, approved Oldham’s retirement, effective June 30. Oldham said her decision to end her stint at Ligonier Valley was a bittersweet one. “I’m excited about what the future holds, but at the same time, I am truly going to miss the people who have made my 13 years in (the district) such a blessing,” she said. “There really is something special about our 234 square miles. As exciting as retirement is, it is going to be difficult to leave.”
