Wissahickon board appoints Dr. Julie Ali as director of student services

The Wissahickon School District Board voted May 4 to approve human resources items on the agenda, including the appointment of Dr. Julie Ali as the district’s new director of student services.

Human Resources presenter Danielle reviewed items 13.1–13.8, noting resignations, appointments and status changes. The board voted to approve the HR slate; Dr. Ali, who attended the meeting with her husband, was publicly welcomed by the directors.

Board members offered brief congratulatory remarks and expressed enthusiasm about Dr. Ali joining the district. The motion to approve the HR items was moved and seconded and passed by a voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll-call tally or an effective start date for the appointment.

What happens next: the district will complete any onboarding steps and personnel paperwork associated with the appointment; the public record presented at the meeting did not specify an effective date for Dr. Ali’s start in the role.
