On Monday, the state Legislative Reapportionment Commission approved its final maps, which are based on population changes found in 2010 Census data. Redistricting is required every 10 years by the U.S. Constitution. State Rep. Todd Rock, a Republican, said his 90th House District in southern Franklin County gained 9,000 people in the past decade. Because of that, the geographical boundaries of his district will shrink.

MERCERSBURG, Pa. -- State Rep. Todd Rock said Tuesday morning that his offices have received dozens of phone calls, e-mails and visitors expressing concern about the teachers strike in Tuscarora School District. One woman shared that her children's time with their father would be affected because their custody agreement called for the children to spend Christmas break with him, Rock said. "Students should not be involved in a negotiation. This should be negotiations between adults -- between the board and the union," he said.

MERCERSBURG, PA. -- A spokeswoman for the Tuscarora School District's teachers union said Friday afternoon that the next 24 hours would be spent determining whether the faculty would strike starting the first day of the 2008-09 school year.
