CHAMBERSBURG – Amy Weibley has officially announced her candidacy for the Chambersburg Area School District School Board, saying she wants to bring her passion for education, community engagement and student success to the race.
As an advocate for quality education, Weibley is committed to fostering a supportive learning environment for all students, enhancing communication between the school board and the community and ensuring responsible fiscal management of district resources.
“I believe that strong schools are the foundation of a strong community,” said Weibley. “As a parent, business owner and active member of the Chambersburg community, I am eager to bring fresh perspectives and collaborative leadership to the CASD School Board to ensure our students receive the best possible education.”
Weibley is a mother of two boys, one second grader enrolled in the district and one about to start kindergarten. For the past 10 years, she has been involved in the community by working and volunteering for local nonprofits.
She runs her own business while staying active in the community serving on various boards and committees. Weibley is also a graduate of Shippensburg University where she received her master’s in organizational development and leadership.
With these experiences and background in collaborative leadership, Weibley said she is focused on key issues such as academic excellence, teacher support, student well-being and transparency in decision-making. As a parent of Falling Spring Elementary students, she also wants to ensure the facilities improvements are best serving children and families while making sure the voices of families whose schools will be closed are heard.
“I want to make a positive difference and help ensure all students in the district get the education they need to reach their full potential – because kids are our future,” Weibley added. “As parents, teachers, students and community members working together, we can prepare our children for success in an ever-changing world.”
Weibley is running for CASD School Board Region 4, which serves Chambersburg Borough Ward 5-1 (polling place: Chambersburg Bible Church) and Guilford 1 (Grace Brethren Church). The primary election will take place on Tuesday, May 20 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
