School board interviews two, waits to vote
At tonight's Columbia Borough School Board Committee of the Whole meeting, two candidates were interviewed for the still vacant board seat.
In addition, Board President Cole Knighton announced that another board resignation was submitted today. The name was not announced as the board has not officially accepted the resignation as yet.
Candidates Iris Garrido and Barry Ford answered questions from board members during simultaneous interviews. Garrido ran against Fran Resch in a recent election. Resch resigned in May of this year. Ford resigned from borough council in May due to health reasons.
At the conclusion of the interview there was confusion as to whether a vote could be taken at the meeting. Superintendent Robert Hollister said he thought the position had not been advertised correctly and advised the board to err on the side of caution and delay a vote until next week at the regular board meeting.
Three board members absent from the meeting - Ms. Mattern, Ms. Anspach, and Mr. Lutz - will need to abstain when the vote is taken, according to Hollister.
Comments
Who will be the NEW resignation? Could it be Cole ( just landed the job I wanted)? Could it be Vicki (We got it passed)? Could it be Leo Lutz Jr. (my Dad told me what to do what is good for Columbia)? My bet it is Kieth Combs for his dedication to his job, and the desicration of the Columbia Borough School District.
We should have ten theaters in Columbia with all the drama queens we have living here!
If the ethics investigation would pick up speed...
If one school board member is there illegally....All issues that this person voted on would be nullified.....
If the good people of Columbia show their pride, this travesty would be over.
Only those people with much to hide are threatened by truth and openness. If they can suppress the truth they think they win. Not going to happen this time!!!
In following this questionable merger in my old home town, I would wonder if these same procedures were duly followed??
People hate hearing truth and the facts, I admire her determination!
Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil!
Keep up the good work girl!
And yes movie theaters are a good idea, we need revenue to offset the tax burdens felt by HOMEOWNERS.
