Police: Teen without valid license behind wheel in fatal Hanover Township crash

<p>WILKES-BARRE &#8212; The Wilkes-Barre Area School District is investigating the alleged illegal use of a Dumpster at GAR Memorial High School.</p><p>Superintendent Brian Costello issued a brief email statement noting the district had received several reports of illegal use of its Dumpsters.</p><p>&#8220;After receiving this information, I instructed our Director of Police Operations (Brian Lavan) to contact the Wilkes-Barre City Police Department to request a full joint investigation regarding this matter.&#8221;</p><p>Costello added that &#8220;no further comment will be available at this time due to the ongoing investigation.&#8221;</p><p>While illegal use of school Dumpsters could drive costs up, GAR, like the district&#8217;s other two high schools, faces much bigger financial issues. The district has been grappling with a roof leak for months, and it recently authorized extensive exploratory work to check masonry behind the facade cladding.</p><p><ins>For other local news stories, <a href="https://www.timesleader.com/category/local" target="_blank">click here</a>.</ins></p><style>
