ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Allentown School District is accepting applications through 4 p.m. Friday to fill the school board seat formerly occupied by Nick Miller.

Miller was sworn into office Tuesday as the state senator representing the newly redrawn 14th Senate District. He submitted his resignation by email on December 16, which was effective on Jan. 2, 2023. His resignation has yet to be voted on by the school board because of open meeting law requirements.

  • Allentown School District is accepting applications through Friday for vacant school board seat
  • State Sen. Nick Miller submitted his resignation effective Jan. 2nd
  • The school board has not yet voted to accept his resignation

The board could potentially vote on accepting Miller's resignation on Jan. 12, during the same public meeting at which the board intends to fill the seat. Eligible applicants will be interviewed at that meeting.

More information and an application form are available on the school district website. The selected candidate will be sworn in during the regular school board meeting on Thursday, Jan. 26, and serve until the December 2023 reorganization meeting.
