Board honors two Bethel Park school employees
Two Bethel Park School District employees were honored during the school board’s April 25 meeting.
James Modrak, a former Bethel Park School District police officer, received a proclamation from Allegheny County Councilwoman Sue Means honoring him for his 30-year career with the Bethel Park Police Department and time spent as a school police officer. Modrak resigned from his position with the school district in April.
Bill Ranegar, head custodian at Independence Middle School, received an engraved hammer from William Keith, Bethel Park School District’s director of facilities. Faculty and administrators at IMS honored Ranegar for his work in remodeling the library, bathrooms and several other rooms during a recent building renovation. Ranegar used his talent for carpentry and his leadership to create beautiful rooms without spending a lot of taxpayer money, Keith said.
