Voting

The Merrimack Valley School Board experienced its third resignation in less than six months.

Loudon representative Dan York Jr. resigned from the 11-member board on March 25, board chair Tracy Bricchi said Monday. York was two years into a three-year term.

Bricchi did not say why York had resigned, and York could not be reached for comment.

His resignation came just weeks after the annual election and so the board will appoint a replacement until next year’s election. 

Interested residents have until April 25 to apply and will be interviewed by the current school board on May 7. The board will then vote on York’s replacement.

York’s resignation follows that of Owen Harrington last October and Loren Martin in January, both of Boscawen. Both seats were filled during last month’s election.

Merrimack Valley board members serve three-year terms. Two members represent each of the five communities in the school district and an 11th member serves at-large. Residents from the full school district vote on each candidate, regardless of where they live.
