Board of Education members were informed during the Board’s meeting this week that those members who are up for election in 2017 will serve an extra six months in that specific term, because the elections are being moved from April to November. Their terms will not end at the close of June. Instead of new board members joining the board July 1 as in the past, they will not begin until early January.
