Three of the five Norwich School Board seats are up for election this year. Only one incumbent is seeking reelection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Board Chair Tom Candon<\/strong> is running for reelection. However, at the Board meeting on January 8, as seen on CATV, both Jim Mackall<\/strong> and Lauren Morando Rhim<\/strong> indicated they would not be running. Mr. Mackall is the Norwich Vice Chair, while Ms. Rhim is the Secretary. At the meeting, Mr. Mackall said he is “strongly encouraging members of the public to step up and … get their name on the ballot, because he does not want to leave an empty seat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mr. Candon, petitions to run are available from the Town Clerk. A minimum of 30 qualified signatures are needed and are due by January 27, he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of that Norwich Board also serve on the Dresden School Board, which has oversight of the Richmond Middle School and Hanover High School. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
