Summary
The board accepted President Kathy McMurtry's immediate resignation, offered tributes, and announced a public application process: resume, letter of interest and PA ethics form due to the board secretary by Dec. 1; interviews at the Dec. 10 meeting; board action within 30 days.
The North Penn School District Board of School Directors voted to accept the immediate resignation of President Kathy McMurtry at its action meeting. Members offered public thanks and tributes for McMurtry’s years of service.
District staff explained the legally required process to fill the vacancy. The board will post a public notice and accept a resume, a letter of interest and a Pennsylvania ethics form that documents financial interests. Materials must be delivered to the board secretary (Ms. Todd) by Dec. 1. The board said it will interview applicants at the Dec. 10 public meeting and vote on a replacement within 30 days of the resignation.
Why this matters: Filling a midterm vacancy changes the board’s composition and may affect committee assignments and votes on ongoing initiatives, including the high school renovation and budget priorities.
What’s next: The district will publish the application instructions and a press release; prospective candidates should submit the required materials to the board secretary by Dec. 1 for consideration at the Dec. 10 meeting.
