She Thought She Was Out...

...but they pulled her back in!

The Madison Central School Board has recalled former member Gwen Thomson to fill a vacancy on the board for the coming year. (The Madville Times is recovering from being overlooked by the Board for the position.) As it did when it appointed David Zolnowsky to fill a vacancy, the Board has perhaps wisely gone with experience. The Board is also fortunate to find a former member who is willing to take the heat again.

Contrary to this writer's expectation, Thomson was appointed only for one year rather than the full term. Her seat will be open to any candidates who want to run for the remaining two years of the term. So all of you education advocates out there, let's see some petitions next February! Democracy is a lot more fun with some competition.
