(Beaver County, PA) The BVIU Board of Directors is expected to vote on January 28th, 2026 at their regular meeting on borrowing up to $15 million to ensure New Horizon School reopens in time for the 2026–27 school year. However, before the measure can move forward, each of the fourteen school district boards in Beaver County must first approve the proposal. This followed a special session on January 6th, 2026 that took almost four hours and it focused on finalizing details related to the financing, scope and timeline of the project and included both superintendents from the school districts that jointly own New Horizon and BVIU board members. Beaver County Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp informed the board members of the BVIU during that session that $1 million will be contributed from Beaver County toward the remediation effort. Commissioner Chairman Camp has also attended public meetings on the project over the past year and BVIU expresses their gratitude to him and leadership in Beaver County for their support of the rehabilitation project for New Horizon School and their support for the school itself. The school that assists children with special needs in Beaver County is now operating at a cost of $50,000 per month and is operating temporarily from the Charles J. Betters Innovation Center in Midland.
