Plum Borough School Board accepts Devin Adams' resignation, outlines 30-day appointment timeline
Summary
At its March 25 action meeting the Plum Borough School District board accepted the resignation of board director Devin Adams, who moved outside the district, and announced a 30-day public process to fill the vacancy with deadlines and interview dates in April.
The Plum Borough School District board accepted the resignation of board director Devin Adams at its March 25 action meeting after the board learned Adams had moved outside the district.
Board President Dr. Anderson said the resignation makes Adams "unable to serve as a school board member" and described a 30-day timeline to fill the vacancy that begins with the board's receipt of the resignation.
The board said the resignation letter was submitted on March 15 and received by district staff on March 17, which starts a 30-day clock for filling the vacancy. The district will advertise the vacancy in the Valley News Dispatch and on TribLive legal notices for three days beginning the day after the meeting. The district set a deadline of close of business on Wednesday, April 2, to receive letters of interest.
The board will hold public, in-person interviews at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8. If time permits the board may convene an executive session beforehand. A special discussion and voting meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 16; the board intends to present HDG Architects' project details at that meeting and to act on appointing a candidate at the start of the meeting. The new member's first regular action-meeting attendance is expected Tuesday, April 22.
Board members asked whether the candidate could be sworn in and participate in the April 16 discussion. The board said any early swearing would require the presence of the magistrate, referenced in the meeting as Magistrate Doyle, and that the swearing process would need to occur before the appointee could sit as a voting board member. The board did not identify a magistrate's availability.
A motion to accept Adams' resignation was made and seconded during the March 25 meeting and the board voted in favor. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the public transcript for that motion; the meeting minutes will contain the official vote record.
The board said it will publish hard copies of the vacancy application information at the district office and encouraged interested residents to submit letters of interest within the stated deadline.
No additional conditions or deadlines for the appointed member were stated at the meeting.
The vacancy fills the remainder of a term expiring Dec. 1, 2025, according to the agenda item presented to the board.
