Debbie Brandstetter

BUTLER TWP — The Butler School District's director of business services plans to leave the district for another job.

Debbie Brandstetter informed the administration of her plans Tuesday afternoon, Acting Superintendent William Pettigrew said.

Brandstetter will stay with the district until mid-May while the administration continues to work on an operating budget to propose for school board approval next month, Pettigrew said.

At a special meeting Tuesday night, school board members declined to comment on the situation saying they had not seen the resignation in writing.

Brandstetter in an interview said she has accepted a position at the Riverside Beaver County School District.

Pettigrew said the administration won't seek candidates for a replacement until receiving instructions from the school board, which meets again April 24.

The director of business services oversees budgeting, financial management, debt service, risk and insurance management, taxation and payroll,” according to the district's website.

She had worked for the district since 2014 and was business manager for the South Butler County district from 2006 to 2014.
