There is a vacancy on the Board of Education as a result of the resignation of Ashley Jones.
Jones announced at the May 25 Board meeting that she is moving out of the District. She was elected to the Board last month, and was just starting her term. (She earlier served on the Board from April 2018 to February 2021.)
The Board, by a majority vote, will appoint a replacement to serve until the next Board election in April 2024.
The Board is seeking interested candidates for the position. The Board will screen the applicants and will select candidates to interview. Interviews will take place on June 20, with the goal to administer the oath of office to the new board member on June 22.
