William Penn SD reviews candidates for Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board seats
Summary
The board discussed a request to elect representatives to the Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board of directors for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2025; a board member who reviewed the candidates said the new members are recently appointed and engaged, and raised no concerns.
At the May 19 meeting, the William Penn School District board considered a request to elect representatives to the Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 board of directors for a three-year term running July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.
The motion before the board was to approve a resolution electing the individuals indicated to serve on Intermediate Unit No. 25’s board, the agenda stated. The district reported that nominees come from several member districts, including Chester-Upland, Interboro, Radnor, Ridley and Southeast Delco.
When the president deferred to a board member identified as Wadia for comment, Wadia said the appointees are new to the Intermediate Unit and have been serving for roughly two months. “They've been appointed to a previous, I guess, term. So they've only been on the board for about 2 months. But so far, everyone listed here... everyone has been present, asking questions and engaged. So I would not have a reason to raise any concerns,” Wadia said.
Why it matters: Delaware County Intermediate Unit No. 25 provides shared services to member districts, and board representatives influence cooperative programs and regional services. The term for the seats under consideration would run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028, according to the agenda read at the meeting.
The board did not record a vote in the transcript. The item remained on the new-business agenda for action; board members asked for clarification about candidate familiarity but expressed no substantive objections during the May 19 discussion.
