Episode Details

Lancaster’s school district has tapped Dr. Marcia Stokes, a seasoned finance leader with a proven track record in turning around struggling budgets, to steer them out of a multi-million dollar shortfall. Appointed unanimously by the school board, Stokes brings five years of experience from Harrisburg, where she rebuilt financial stability while prioritizing student needs. With a mission to restore trust through transparency, accountability, and smart spending, she’ll oversee payroll, reporting, and long-term planning — starting mid-September with a two-year contract. Former Harrisburg superintendent praised her leadership, calling her a key reason their district thrived — now she’s poised to do the same in Lancaster.
