(Beaver County, PA) Both the Rochester and New Brighton school boards met yesterday to vote on a potential cooperative agreement between the athletic programs of the two districts for select sports beginning in the 2026-2027 school year. The board of Rochester voted 6-1 in favor of tabling to both receive input and to gather more information, while the New Brighton board voted unanimously in a 9-0 vote to move forward. According to New Brighton superintendent Dr. Joseph Guarino, he will be meeting with members of Rochester’s administration to discuss the next steps after Rochester chose not to officially vote on the matter.
