A RECORD EXISTS
THE INQUIRER THREAD

The Philadelphia Inquirer · Published June 12, 2026

✓ UNLOCKED — PUBLIC RECORD

▸ Source Publication

JUNE 12, 2026

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a person connected to the broader Octorara administrative record served, over nearly three decades, in two roles simultaneously — as an East Whiteland Township police sergeant and an elected Octorara Area School Board Director.
The article reported his resignation from the board came in March 2025, days after police opened an investigation into a recording made of a closed executive session, and that the matter was later resolved through an advanced rehabilitative disposition program.

Video preserved independently, as Octorara did not retain its own archive of board meeting recordings from this period on YouTube.

▸ What This Achievement Documents

01 At the September 11, 2023 board meeting, Anthony Falgiatore Sr. addressed the board during public comment, identifying himself as speaking “in his private person capacity.”
02 Speaking in his capacity as a sitting Board Director, he stated on the record that he had a lawful duty to object to the use of taxpayer funds on a private legal matter:
“in my capacity as a board director I have a lawful duty to object to the misappropriation of taxpayer funds in a private legal matter” — Anthony Falgiatore Sr., public comment, September 11, 2023
03 He also stated, on the record, that certain board members had contacted his employer in a manner he characterized as an attempt to influence his testimony, and cautioned that such contact should cease. He was explicit that this was offered as observation, not allegation: “I am not making any allegations or representations, just providing wisdom from the perspective of an off-duty law enforcement officer.”
04 He stated he was providing a copy of his remarks to be entered into the official record.
05 The Inquirer separately reported that a school district business manager, interviewed by state police in connection with the recording investigation, recognized the recording as capturing a meeting in which the two had clashed.
