STATEMENT OF CENSURE OF BOARD MEMBER GERARD GREGA, SR.  

This Statement of Censure of Board Member Gerard Grega, Sr, is hereby made a part of the record of the proceedings at the duly advertised August 5, 2026 Caucus Meeting of the Weatherly Area School District Board of School Directors.

On or about August 4, 2026, Board Member Grega posted the identities of five (5) WASD students who owe balances to the cafeteria/lunch fund on the public Facebook group website known as the “WASD-CITIZENS GROUP.”

Mr. Grega did so without seeking my prior approval as Chairwoman of the WASD School Board, as required by WASD School Policies. Indeed, had Mr. Grega sought my approval, I would have immediately denied his request since publishing the names of these students quite possibly constitutes a violation of federal and state privacy laws, and a violation of federal/state debt collection laws.

I am the administrator of the WASD-CITIZENS GROUP and, in order to avoid exposing WASD to potentially significant legal liability, I immediately removed Mr. Grega’s post on August 4, 2026.

This is not the first time that Mr. Grega has deliberately chosen to disregard Board policies with which he disagrees. Nor, unfortunately, do I anticipate it to be the last. However, Mr. Grega’s latest, brazen disregard for the rules governing this Board and its members, has unnecessarily exposed WASD to potential legal liability, public ridicule and contempt.

It is my decision, therefore, to issue this public censure of Mr. Grega for his conduct. I am also banning Mr. Grega from serving on any WASD committees.   In addition, we are exploring legal options available under the PA Statutory Law. Finally, I am advising Mr. Grega that if he continues along a similar path in the future, I and this Board will exercise any and all remedies available under the law.

Board President, April Walters
