Candidate Steven Litz introduces himself for Region 2 school board vacancy
Summary
Steven Litz, a Kiski graduate and longtime teacher, introduced himself as an applicant to fill the Region 2 vacancy and described his teaching background and connection to the district; the board will consider his appointment at the upcoming action meeting.
Steven Litz introduced himself to the Kiski Area School District board on March 11 as an applicant for the Region 2 vacancy, describing a long personal and professional connection to the district and explaining why he seeks the appointment through 2027.
Litz told the board he graduated from Kiski in 1998 and has taught for nearly three decades, serving as a classroom teacher and a math specialist at New Ken Aron. He described moving into Region 2 in 2017 with his family and said he values the district's size and academic and extracurricular opportunities. "I feel that I can really help this district that's near and dear to me and near and dear to my kids," he said.
Superintendent Dr. Lur explained the district received two letters of interest for the Region 2 opening but one candidate withdrew; Litz was invited to briefly introduce himself and answer questions. Board members thanked him for volunteering; the superintendent said Litz will be on the Monday action meeting agenda for a board vote and would be sworn in if approved.
Why it matters: Filling the Region 2 seat will restore full board representation for that director district and allow the appointee to participate immediately in votes after being sworn in.
Next steps: The board will consider the appointment at its scheduled action meeting; if appointed, Litz would be sworn in and take his seat immediately.
