We, the residents of Centennial School District, humbly ask Dr. Bedden to reconsider continuing as superintendent of Centennial School District, and for the school board to offer him a contract renewal. We want the best for our children's education, and Dr. Bedden has delivered. During his tenure:

-All CSD schools have achieved or exceeded 100% of the PVAAS growth targets across all measured areas for the first time in over a decade

-The district secured $4,132,000 in savings to taxpayers after Moody's improved CSD’s rating to Aa2 allowing the district to borrow money at a lower interest rate

-Programs at William Tennent High School have expanded, including a competitive eSports program and a very successful PIAA-sanctioned girl’s wrestling team, giving our high school students ever increasing opportunities

Dr. Bedden has led our district through a global pandemic, and come out on the other side with improved test scores, a financially stable school district, updated curricula across the district that better serves our students, and expanded opportunities at the high school to prepare our students for whatever direction they take after high school graduation. We are thrilled with the direction Centennial is going, and we wish to see this forward progress continue under Dr. Bedden's continued leadership.
