Since January is designated School Directors Month in Pennsylvania, Daniel Malloy, Superintendent of the Weatherly Area School District, took the opportunity at Wednesday night’s board meeting to recognize Weatherly’s nine directors.

“More than 85% of Pennsylvania’s students attend public schools, including the 669 in the Weatherly Area School District,” Malloy said. “Along with district administration, the nine members of each school board make complex decisions to guide public schools and provide an educational environment where every student can find a path to success.”

To recognize Weatherly Area’s nine directors, each was awarded a certificate that read:

“School board directors are a vital component of our educational system, working tirelessly to ensure all students have access to a quality education, They volunteer their time and effort to the challenging and complex responsibilities of board business, such as voting on budgets, adopting policy, and conducting comprehensive planning, Their dedication and passion for their communities are truly inspiring.”

The Weatherly Area School Board is made up of: Nancy Mulvaney, president; Barbara Sipler, vice-president, and members Tom Connors Jr., April Walters, Tyree Harris, William Knepper, Kenneth Jacoby III, Bonita Barbush, and Ryan Binder.
