D-49 Board Member Resigns

District 49 announced on Friday that a board member has resigned.

Joan Johnson was elected in November of 2011. She has resigned her position effective immediately. Johnson has requested the board hold a special meeting within the next 24 hours to accept her resignation which will be at 4:30p.m. tomorrow.

The district will be declaring a vacancy at their April 25th meeting. Colorado law requires the position be filled within 60 days. The newly appointed director will finish Director Johnson’s two-year term and will need to run for office in 2013.

“We appreciate Mrs. Johnson’s perspective on the board. It will be missed,” said Tammy Harold, Board President.
