Spring Grove Area School District Superintendent Joseph A. Bradley has been accepted into a program that will expunge his record of a driving under the influence charge, according to court records.
York County Judge Harry Ness approved Bradley’s acceptance into the accelerated rehabilitative disposition program on Dec. 10.
Bradley, 52, had been charged with DUI on June 28 after a state police trooper found him slumped over the wheel of his car in the 100 block of South Forney Avenue in Hanover at 2:38 a.m.

His arrest came just days before he was to begin work as Spring Grove’s superintendent. The school district suspended Bradley for two weeks, determining that the offense did not merit firing him.
Bradley had a blood-alcohol level of .193, more than twice the legal limit of .08 and higher than the .16 level that requires heightened scrutiny in cases accepted into ARD.
As a condition of ARD, Bradley must complete 35 hours of community service within four months, complete DUI classes within 6 months, undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and complete any recommended treatment and not possess or consume alcohol, according to court records.
At the time of his arrest, Bradley issued a statement apologizing for making “a regretful error in judgement while dealing with personal turmoil.” He apologized to the Spring Grove community and vowed “to do better and rebuild the great trust given to me by this District’s Board and families.”
He also pledged “to address these charges in a forthright manner and will accept any appropriate consequences for my actions.”
