The Mars School Board has hired a new director of special education for the district.
Travis Mineard will begin on July 1. He’ll be paid a salary of $118,000.
Mineard is currently the director of special education at the Ambridge Area School District. He has degrees from Duquesne, IUP, Clarion and Westminster.
Special education programming at Mars has been under fire this year after the district received an unfavorable audit from the state.
