A previous Harrisburg School Board meeting (file photo)
The Harrisburg School District Board of Directors on Tuesday voted to maintain its current president, while electing a new second-in-command for the new year.
At an annual reorganization meeting, school board members voted to re-appoint board President Brian Carter, who also served in the position in 2022, and to appoint Roslyn Copeland as vice president.
Copeland, who was elected for a four-year term school board position in 2021, replaces Steven Williams as vice president.
As the district remains under state receivership, board members lack the power to vote at board meetings. Receiver Dr. Lori Suski has the sole vote on all agenda items brought before the board.
However, board members participate in monthly meetings by asking questions and talking about agenda items during roundtable discussions. Directors are also appointed by Suski to the Dauphin County Technical School Joint Operating Committee and Act 141 Recovery Plan Advisory Committee and serve as Pennsylvania School Boards Association liaisons and HACC delegates.
