(Beaver County, PA) According to a recent release from the Beaver Valley Intermediate Unit (BVIU) in Beaver County, The BVIUBoard of Directors is expected to vote later this month 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. The borrowing measure will be considered by the BVIU board at their scheduled regular meeting on January 28th, 2026. This followed a special session on Tuesday 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 the meeting 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.
