His resignation has resulted in a vacant seat on the district’s board of education. The board will now consider their options and determine how best to move forward with filling the seat.
“If I thought I could vote ‘no’ and change his mind, I would in a second,” board trustee Edward Langone said. “I know that I can’t, so I must begrudgingly accept his resignation and thank him for all that he has done for the district.”
