Jefferson Hills School District Board of Directors'
President Shauna D'Alessandro on her election to the
Allegheny Intermediate Unit's Board of Directors. At the
119th Annual Convention Meeting of the Allegheny
Intermediate Unit, Mrs. D'Alessandro was elected by her
peers from forty-two member school districts to both a
full three-year term beginning on July 1, 2007, as well as
to an open three-month Board vacancy which begins
immediately. Shauna is the first board member from the West

is a wonderful opportunity for our school district, and Mrs.

support for its member schools, families, and communities.
The Administration at WJHSD is proud of all of our school
directors and acknowledges this accomplishment.
