On March 22, the School Board Nominating Committee endorsed Mariquita Blumberg, Nilesh Jain and Pamela Montgomery to fill the seats on the Board of Education being vacated by Michael Bianchi, Jennifer Darger and Brian Yarrington.
A diverse group of hard-working individuals sat on the SBNC. They served with extreme thoughtfulness and dedication throughout the nomination and recommendation process. I would like to thank the SBNC committee for their efforts (names below).
