Pennsbury School Board Seeks Candidates For Vacant Seat

FALLSINGTON, PA —With Pennsbury School Board Director Jim Prokopiak becoming a state representative, the school board now has an open seat.

The Pennsbury School District has a vacancy for School Director for Region 2.

Interested candidates should forward their cover letter and resume to Chris Berdnik, Board Secretary, at cberdnik@pennsburysd.org by noon on May 28.

A special meeting of the Pennsbury Board of School Directors has been scheduled for Thursday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the Fallsington Elementary School located at 134 Yardley Avenue, Fallsington, PA.

The purpose of this meeting is the appointment of a board member.

In February, Prokopiak —as Bucks County's Democratic Party nominee —won a special election, handily defeating Republican challenger Candace Cabanas by winning 85 percent of the tally.

The two won the April primary election and are expected to square off again in the November general election.

Prokopiak became the new state representative of the 140th Legislative District in March, replacing State Rep. John Galloway, who resigned in mid-December to become Magisterial District Justice for Falls Township.
