A member of the Butler Area School Board will step down from his position after announcing plans to move out of the district to begin a new job.
Tom Harrison has been a Butler School Board Director for nearly three years but he will resign from the board at the end of June.
In a letter Harrison submitted to the board Monday night, Harrison stated that the United Methodist Church Western Pennsylvania Conference has appointed him as senior pastor of the New Covenant Charge which consists of four congregations in Clarion County.
The district is expected to accept applications from people interested in filling the remainder of Harrison’s term, which runs through November of 2023.
