Wrentham Seeking KP School Committee Representative

Selectmen now accepting applications for King Philip seat.

The Wrentham Board of Selectmen are currently seeking a local resident to serve on the King Philip School Committee.

The board announced Wednesday that it would be accepting inquiries about the position.

The town failed to elect a representative in the elections earlier this month. No one filed to run for the position, and the top write-in declined the position.

The seat was previously occupied by Matthew Gray.

The process for replacing a committee member should a town fail to elect one has the town's other KP School Committee members consulting with the Board of Selectmen. Those people will meet and appoint a member for an interim term.
