The Upper Dublin Board of School Directors is seeking applications for a vacancy until October 1.
According to their announcement, the board “will accept written applications of interest from qualified electors to fill approximately two years of the unexpired term of a school board member. The unexpired term being filled extends from appointment until December 6, 2027, essentially serving a two-year term.”
“The Director position is a volunteer position with a substantial time commitment,” the announcement said. It continues:
Letters of interest, resumes, certification of eligibility, statements of financial interests, and completed questionnaire must be received by the Board Secretary, Mr. Andrew Lechman, by hand-delivery at the Administrative Offices of the District at 1580 Fort Washington Avenue, Maple Glen, PA 19002 or via email at alechman@udsd.orgno later than 4:00 PM on October 1, 2025. Any applicant whose complete packet has not been received by Mr. Lechman by that date and time will NOT be considered by the Board for appointment to the office.
Letters of interest and resume should include background and experiences (both professional and volunteer) that the applicant believes supports their candidacy to serve as a Board member.
Selected applicants must attend an in-person interview, in public, during a Special Legislative Meeting, on October 13, 2025 at 6:00 PM. Following interviews, it is the intention of the Board to publicly deliberate and nominate a candidate to fill the vacant seat. The successful candidate may take the Oath of Office and be seated as a new member of the Board during the meeting.
