Andy Block, two-term incumbent of the Council Rock School Board, announced his reelection campaign and candidacy to represent Region 8 (Upper Makefield Districts 1-4) on the board.
Block was elected in 2013 and reelected in 2017. He will appear on both the Republican and Democratic ballots for the primary election on May 18. He is endorsed by the Upper Makefield Republican Committee.
Block is serving the last year of his second term, having been elected to leadership for six years (with four as board president). Previously, Block led the Master Capital Planning Committee, served as Finance co-chair and represented Council Rock on the executive council of the Middle Bucks Institute of Technology.
“Serving the Council Rock community over the last seven and a half years has been a tremendous honor. I couldn’t be prouder to announce my candidacy to continue representing Upper Makefield Township on the school board,” said Block.
He says his decision to run for a third term is due to the impact of COVID-19 on the district.
“Unfortunately, the pandemic has created an incredibly difficult environment for our community, students, and staff, with strained budgets, resources and outcomes. Given the myriad challenges facing the district, I felt an obligation to continue my service to help our community.”
