Prior to the November election, Wissahickon School Board candidate Ian Berg passed away. His death came close to the election date so he could not be replaced on the ballot. Berg’s vote total was among the top five, thus he won a seat on the board.

Due to his death, the board will go through the process to appoint a replacement that will serve two years. A special election will be held in 2025 to complete the second two-years of Berg’s term.

Below is the notice from the Wissahickon Board of School Directors on how to seek the appointment:
