Board accepts Area 2 resignation; members outline appointment and interview plans
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Anthony Beachel (Area 2) effective Jan. 13, 2026, and discussed the public interview and appointment process, including whether interviews will be panel or individual and a preference for voice votes for the election.
At its Jan. 13 committee meeting, the Milton Area School District committee voted to accept the resignation of Anthony Beachel as School Board Representative for Area 2, effective Jan. 13, 2026.
Joel Harris moved to approve the Executive Committee’s recommendation to accept the resignation and the motion passed unanimously, 8-0. Dr. John Bickhart told the board that interviews to fill the vacancy will be held in a public meeting and outlined the selection process the board will use to name a replacement at the next board meeting. Board members discussed logistics for the interviews: Eric Moser asked whether the interviews would be panel-style or individual, and Kevin Fry said he would prefer voice votes for the election. Amy Waldron asked whether the incoming member would fill the vacant committee assignments; Dr. John Bickhart confirmed the new member would be assigned to the open committee slots.
The board also approved 2026 committee assignments as part of the same Executive Committee action. No public candidates were named in the minutes and the committee did not take a final appointment vote at this meeting; the minutes record plans to conduct interviews and to fill the vacancy at the next meeting.
