Columbia Borough School District board member resigns | Community News | lancasteronline.com

MORGAN HUBER | FOR LNP | LANCASTERONLINE

When: Columbia Borough school board meeting, Feb. 19.

What happened: The board approved the resignation of member Nathan Roach, effective Feb. 20. Roach, who has served on the board since February 2024, was reelected last November; he co-chaired the policy committee. In his resignation letter, Roach stated he will be moving out of Columbia, making him ineligible to serve on the board.

Quote: "It has been my honor and pleasure to work alongside you all. However, life has been taking me in another direction and a new chapter is beginning," Roach stated in his letter. "I wish you all the best and will be cheering you on from a distance. CBSD will forever hold a place in my heart."

What's next: A spot now remains open on the school board. Columbia residents who are interested in serving may apply for the vacant position by Feb. 27 through the district website. All applicants must be at least 18 and have lived in the borough for at least one year. Letters of interest may either be delivered to the school district office or submitted by email to board President Charles Leader, Superintendent Ashley Rizzo, or Secretary Lindsey Blake.

More: The remaining eight active board members will hold interviews at their March 3 meeting. The newly appointed board member will serve through Dec. 6, 2027, the remainder of Roach's two-year term.
