Board approves Erica Willis as interim director of human resources; vote 8‑0 with one absence

The Susquehanna Township School District board approved a personnel contract on Aug. 4 that made Erica Willis the interim director of human resources, effective Aug. 5, 2025. During the personnel portion of the meeting the board pulled two items (identified as 5C and 5J) for separate consideration. Following discussion, the board voted to approve item 5J — the contract appointment — by roll call. The meeting transcript records the roll‑call sequence and affirmative responses; the motion “passes 8 0 1 absent,” the record shows. Prior to that vote the board approved other personnel items but pulled item 5C because of a potential conflict: a board member is related to a person listed in 5C and that item was handled separately and recorded as approved with an abstention recorded for the related board member. The board did not provide additional public detail about the terms of Willis’s interim contract during the open session; administrators said the position followed a standard recruiting and interview process. The board’s clerk will include the signed contract in board records and minutes.
