Silver Resigns From Ridgefield Board Of Education
Ridgefield Board of Education member Douglas Silver has submitted his letter of resignation, effective Jan. 21.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — Ridgefield Board of Education member Douglas Silver has submitted his letter of resignation to Chair Margaret Stamatis and Town Clerk Wendy Lionetti, effective on Jan. 21.
Silver was first elected to the Board in November 2015 and was re-elected in November 2017, and "has served our town and our children with compassion and dedication," Democratic Town Committee officials wrote in a blog post.
The Town Charter requires the soon-to-be-vacant seat be filled by another Democrat.
The DTC is requesting that any registered Ridgefield Democrat interested in the job send a statement of interest and resume (or equivalent) to recruitment@ridgefielddems.org, by Jan. 24, 2020, so that the Committee may interview potential candidates and send an endorsement to the Board for its consideration. The Town Charter dictates that the Board make its appointment by Feb. 20, 30 days from the date of vacancy.
