Superintendent Reportedly a Candidate for Pa. Post

Reports say Michael Schilder is one of two candidates to lead Easton Area School District.

Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District Superintendent of Schools Michael Schilder is one of two people being considered for a position at the Easton Area School District, according to an article on lehighvalleylive.com.

The Easton Area School District, the article said, is currently holding a superintendent search, and Schilder is one of the two final candidates, with Robert Culp, assistant executive director of the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit 21.

The article said the Easton school board president has not officially confirmed that there are only two candidates left, but has said they are close to that and are narrowing it down.
