MONACA, Pa.—A merged school district in western Pennsylvania has settled on a name.

The former Center Area and Monaca school districts in Beaver County will be known as Central Valley. Officials from the schools chose the name Thursday evening.

More than 760 suggestions had been made. Many were humorous or even possible criticisms of the merger including District X, United Ninjas, Candyland or the I Don't Care School District.

The merger, which creates Pennsylvania's first new school district in 25 year, becomes official July 1.

Central Valley will combine elementary classes next school year, and middle school and high school classes will follow in the fall of 2010.
