Oxford looks to fill school board vacancy

OXFORD – The Oxford Academy school board is seeking to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacant position.

Following the recent resignation of board member Joseph Spence, the board has decided to appoint a replacement per board law, stating: “Whenever a vacancy occurs other than because of the expiration of a board member’s term of office or because of an increase in the size of the board, the board ‘shall’ appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy.”
