Voting districts realigned to provide more balanced representation

among electoral regions


The Pine-Richland School District Board of School Directors recently adopted a modified regional plan for the election of school directors. This plan was presented to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on January 24 and approved.


The realignment is designed to more accurately reflect the changing populations in Pine and Richland Townships and to equalize the three regions. Each of the three regions elects three school directors to the Board.


The former arrangement grouped all of Pine Township into Region #1. Region #2 is the western portion of Richland Township, and Region #3 is the eastern portion of Richland Township. Pine has been growing rapidly since the present arrangement was put into place and the population gap between the two municipalities has narrowed.


Under the new realignment plan, the Board expanded Region #2 and added to it three electoral districts from Pine. It will now encompass portions of both townships. The realignment becomes with the Tues., May 17, 2005 Primary Election.

In the May, 2005 election, there will be one 4-year seat elected from Region #1, two 4-year seats elected from Region #2, one 4-year seat elected from Region #3 and one 2-year seat elected from Region #3.
