ENCOURAGE, EMBRACE, AND ENSURE ...

...EXCELLENCE, PRIDE, AND TRADITION

Welcome to the 2025 local election for Bellefonte Area School District Board of Education Director.  For this election cycle, four candidate positions will be part of the election process during the spring primary, and then the general election in November.  Our process for selection is bipartisan and based on an applicant's alignment to Win4Bellefonte principles and individual skill-set. 

The people of our communities realize the importance of providing a focused education for every student.  Parents and members of the community are partners as well and need to be heard, not ignored, with a Board of Education that respects any ideas or concerns presented to them. 

Our mission:

1. Support the district's infrastructure needs, including the proposed elementary school project, and extracurricular facilities.

2. Ensure the education of the whole student to include academics, athletics, fine arts, clubs, and extracurricular opportunities.

3. Address mainstream learning gaps at all levels and enhance the identification of special needs and gifted students, including testing and IEP's.

4. Ensure students are exposed to all paths for success after graduating, including life skills, trade skills, and college.

5. Ensure policies that will teach students how to think, not what to think, and ensure the district remains committed to focusing on academics.

6. Ensure that students, parents, teachers, and the community's voices are heard by prioritizing open communication regarding policies and curriculum. 

7. Ensure full support to the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science and Technology, as a member school district, providing for financial and leadership needs.

Currently, there are four incumbent board members who have filed petitions to run for the May 20, 2025 Election Primary.  The Win4Bellefonte Committee has decided that voters should assess how these members have represented our students and decide their vote accordingly. 

We hope to be back for 2027 when five more board slots will open for consideration and support!
