MAR LIN — Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry Secretary Nancy Walker visited Schuylkill Technology Center Thursday morning to discuss the state budget’s multi-million dollar allocations for the Schools-to-Work grant program, which supports the creation of alternative career pathways that technical schools like STC provide.

Pennsylvania’s 2025-26 budget, signed into law in mid-November, funnels $3.5 million towards the Schools-to-Work (STW) Program. The program is currently in its sixth iteration and is accepting applications for the 2026-28 academic years until Dec. 22.

In 2024, STC — a public career technical education center — received a $250,000 STW grant for the 2024-26 academic years to launch its now two-year-old Electrical Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

MCADOO — McAdoo Borough Council unanimously adopted its proposed 2026 budget at a meeting Tuesday evening at the borough building.

The budget has a total projected income of $1,697,500 and a total projected expense amount of $1,466,900 which would leave the borough with a net income of $230,600.

Since Schuylkill County began its property value reassessment, many property values across the county have gone up. To combat this without raising taxes, the borough needed to address its millage rate.

McAdoo Borough Council unanimously adopted its proposed 2026 budget at a meeting Tuesday evening at the borough building.
