ICTC’s Joint Operating Committee meets on Tuesday.
United’s school board is now advertising their vacancy, to finish the term of Hunter Overdorff, who resigned this month after being elected chairman of the Indiana County Republican Committee.

It’s a short-term appointment. The term expires on the first Monday of December, with the position on the November election ballot.
