Bristol Twp. School Board Reorganizes, Former Director Joins

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA —Bristol Township has a familiar face rejoining the school board while also electing its president and vice president during a reorganization meeting on Monday night.

At its annual school board reorganization meeting for 2025, new School Director Stacy Gerlach was sworn in by Retired Judge Robert L. Wagner.

Gerlach was appointed by Judge Jeffrey L. Finley to fill the open seat on the board after Mary Sharble stepped down upon moving out of the township.

The term expires in the upcoming year.

Gerlach had served on the school board for 12 years on a variety of committees during her tenure.

She was born and raised in Levittown, is a Truman High School alumnus, and a graduate of the Bucks County Tech School's nursing program.

Gerlach is employed at RHA Health Services, where she serves people with various abilities as an IDD vocational supervisor.

“I look forward to returning to the Board temporarily and working with my fellow Directors and
the administration to move the schools forward and promote student achievement,” Gerlach
stated at the meeting.

The board then conducted its officer elections for the upcoming year.

James Morgan was elected as president and Donna Kelly as vice president.

“We welcome Stacy back to the Board of Directors and look forward to working together to
continue to focus on providing effective governance for the school district,” Morgan said. “Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season to the entire Bristol Township School
Community.”

The Bristol Township School Board of Directors will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
