Dr. Carline Crevecoeur a community volunteer, educator and retired OB-GYN is seeking election to the State College Area School Board this year.
Crevecoeur said in a statement that she is focused on making a difference in the lives of students.
“Our community is diverse. Yet this is not reflected on the SCASD School Board, administration, and faculty,” she said. “I am running to be a voice for those who feel neglected or overlooked by the system. Biases against certain individuals often have significant influences on those students’ opportunities to learn. I’m running to make learning accessible for all our students in an inclusive environment.”
Peter Buck, an academic programs manager in Penn State’s Sustainability Institute and former Ferguson Township supervisor, announced on Monday that he will seek election to the State College Area School Board this year.
“The Pennsylvania Constitution requires a ‘thorough and efficient’ system of education,” Buck said in a statement. “In SCASD, we need to make it more thorough and more efficient. We need advocates on our school boards who take on a comprehensive view of education in a changing world, and that support equitable outcomes for all children. We need education for a sustainable future.”
Buck, who last year was the Democratic challenger to state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff in the 171st district, plans to cross-file for the Democratic and Republican ballots in the May 18 primary.
