Board interview four candidates.
Katie Shogan—a Wexford resident with teaching credentials and a master's degree in education policy and management—was tapped Thursday night to fill a vacant seat on the Pine-Richland School Board. The board voted 7-0 for Shogan to fill the Region 1 seat vacated by Director Richard Herko, who resigned because he is relocating to California. During a two-hour special meeting, the school board interviewed Shogan, Jennifer Kraus, Greg DiTullio and Dan Crnarich.

Candidates will be interviewed for the seat representing Region 1 in Pine Township.
Pine-Richland School Board will meet in a special session tonight to choose a replacement for Director Richard Herko, who resigned because he is relocating. Board members will interview the candidates and then vote on whom will fill the Region 1 seat that represents part of Pine Township until the term expires in 2013. Tonight's special meeting at 7 p.m. is open to the public at the district's administration building at 702 Warrendale Road in Gibsonia. The last time board members replaced a fellow director was in 2011 when Scott Stedeford resigned. Christine Misback was chosen to fill that seat until the general election in November, when voters chose Peter Lyons for the seat. Region 1 encompasses Pine Voting Districts 1,4,5,7 and 8.

Richard Herko announced Monday night that he is resigning his post on the Pine-Richland School Board because he is moving out of the district.
