Daniel Hudzik of Sweet Valley,
appointed by the Court in January
to the Lake-Lehman School Board,
is not now and never was a politi-
cian. He did, however, attend school
board meetings for the past two and
a half years and had some idea of
what was involved in being a school
director.
Hudzik and his wife, Alberta, are
natives of Ross Township and reside
in Sweet Valley with their daughter,
Ronda, and son, Daniel. Both
Hudzik and his wife graduated from
Lake-Lehman when it was known as
Lehman-Jackson-Ross.
Hudzik became interested in the
Lake-Lehman school district and its
programs by attending the school
board meetings. When the board
committee began interviewing per-
sons to fill the seat left vacant by
the late Vincent Marchakitis, he
applied and was interviewed.
When the directors failed to agree
on an appointee, the decision was
thrown into the court. Like some of
the other applicants, Hudzik circu-
lated petitions throughout Region 2
and was the first one to file his with
the court. Prior to filing, he talked
with former board members and
with many other Region 2 residents,
who were interested in seeing him
appointed to the board.

DANIEL HUDZIK
Finally, Hudzik was notified that
Judge Robert Hourigan handed
down a decision that a panel of the
six county judges had appointed
him to the board. Since his appoint-
ment, Hudzik has found school
board duties better than he
expected, and sees them as ‘both
challenging and interesting.
He has had orientation by the
district’s business manager, Ray-
mond Bowersox, has visited the
buildings of the district as well as
other districts and has attended
seminars conducted by the Pennsyl-
vania School Board Association.
Hudzik has been appointed chair-
man of the buildings and grounds
committee and has inspected all the
school’s facilities.
A Democrat, Hudzik says he does
not vote with any particular group
on the board. Rather, Hudzik
admits he votes for what he believes
779-1228.
is right no matter what the other
members believe. His main concern
is for the students because he wants
them to have the best quality educa-
tion possible with the lowest cost
possible to the taxpayers.
Hudzik would like to have policies
enacted to establish administrative
salaries - policies that would be fair
to both the public and the adminis-
trators.
“I have learned to appreciate our
administrators and the work they
are doing in our district,” said
Hudzik. “I also have concerns for
some of our teachers’ salaries.
Recently, we lost an excellent math-
ematics teacher because we could
not afford to pay her what she could
earn in another district. These are
some of the problems I believe the
board has to evaluate.”
An assistant supervisor at Owens-
Illinois in Pittston, Hudzik is a
member of his community’s volun-
teer fire company and ambulance
association. Both of his children are
members of the Lake-Lehman High
School Band, and his daughter is
well-known for her athletic ability
as a member of Lake-Lehman’s
girls’ basketball varsity team.
Hudzik says he is not a politician,
but is instead a concerned resident
of the Lake-Lehman School District,
determined to do his job as school
director to the best of his ability, to
work toward the best programs
possible for Lake-Lehman students
both academic and extra-curricular.
