Lawyer, Quaker Valley Parent Seeks Seat on QV School Board

David Weicht, 45, of Leet Township, has been a Quaker Valley School District resident since 1999.

He has a degree in psychology from Georgetown University and a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. 

Weicht is an attorney and a partner with the law firm of Leech Tishman Fuscaldo & Lampl. 

He and his wife, CJ, have four children in Quaker Valley schools.  Ryan, 13, and Julia, 13, are both in seventh grade; Natalie, 11, is in sixth grade; and Eric, 8, is in second grade. 

This is Weicht's first time running for office. Weicht said he's excited about the opportunity to serve the community on the school board.

Here is Weicht's statement announcing the reasons for his candidacy:

"I have lived in the Quaker Valley School District since 1999 and have had the chance to see first-hand the high-quality education that Quaker Valley provides. 

I am running for school board to make sure that those standards are maintained and pushed even higher. 

I also understand that the School Board is entrusted with tax dollars from community residents and must act in a fiscally responsible manner. 

I feel that the School Board should seek input from the community on major decisions, respect differences of opinion and strive to reach consensus when possible."
