School Committee Vacancy

School committee member April Reipold resigned her position effective November 27, 2018. April has been a thoughtful and conscientious member since 2014 and she will be missed.

The school committee has begun the process of seeking a replacement to fill this vacancy until the next round of elections in May, 2019. This seat will then be open to all Montague resident candidates to fill the remaining one year of what was originally a three-year term (2017-2020).  Ms. Reipold held one of the 6 Montague resident seats on the 9 member committee. The other 3 seats must be held by Gill citizens.

The district is now accepting letters of interest from any Montague resident who wishes to join the committee until May 2019. Letters of interest should be sent to the superintendent’s office at 35 Crocker Ave in Turners Falls by 4:00 pm on Wednesday, January 2. The school committee will consider all applicants and select the new member by majority vote on Tuesday, January 8.  Any questions should be directed to Superintendent, Michael Sullivan at michael.sullivan@gmrsd.org or 413.863.9324
