MIFFLINTOWN — The Juniata County School District will be looking for two new board of directors in the coming months.

At the school board’s monthly workshop meeting at the administration office in Mifflintown on Wednesday night, directors Martha Jane Shirk and Troy Woodward both announced they will be stepping down at different times.

Shirk, who said she has two years left on her term as a representative for Region No. 6, announced that she will be moving to Milford Township and resigning as a director, effective June 30, 2025. She stated she is moving due to health reasons.

“It has been very eye-opening and I’ve enjoyed it immensely,” Shirk said of serving as a director.

Region No. 6 covers Mifflin, Mifflintown and Thompsontown boroughs.

Troy Woodward, representative for Region No. 9 which covers Lack and Tuscarora townships, announced he will not seek re-election when his term ends in the fall. He cited a lack of time to dedicate to the school board.

Woodward hopes his successor will attend upcoming school board meetings then run in the primary election.

Next meeting

The school board will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 20, for its regular monthly meeting.
