School board appoints two replacement members
BUTLER TWP — The Butler Area School District board of directors appointed Cecilia Tomko and Phil Heasley on Monday, May 22, to fill the unexpired terms left by the resignation of two board members last month.
Both appointees ran to be on the board in the primary election and received enough votes to move on to the general election in November.
Heasley, of Center Township, said he ran for school board to ensure that every student in the district “gets the education that’s right for them, regardless of their abilities or circumstances.”
Tomko, of Butler Township, said she feels it’s a responsibility to teach students the tools they need to learn anything in life, “from gardening to government” and how to think logically to reason and problem solve.
