The Wrangell School Board met last Friday for a short meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to accept the resignation of school board president Georgianna Buhler. Buhler has been on the school board for almost 10 years, she said, from 2002 to 2010, and again from 2016 to 2018. She decided to resign her position so she could pursue a new position as the school district’s business manager.
“There are a number of things that are going on, I did not take this lightly,” Buhler said. “But at the end of the day I have a responsibility to be a financial contributor to my household income. So this was the best of both worlds for me, if I could still be involved with the school.”
After unanimously accepting Buhler’s resignation, the school board began to discuss temporarily filling the empty seat. Kimberly Powell reminded the board that Buhler’s seat was up for election in October anyway. After some brief discussion, the board agree that it would not be worth the effort to temporarily fill the position with the election so close. With that, the meeting was adjourned.
