The Board of Education of the Graham Local School District is looking to fill an unexpired term after board member Alan Mitchell resigned, according to a release.

Mitchell, who has served since January, resigned on Nov. 23 due to ongoing health concerns.

“Mr. Mitchell has served the Graham Local Schools faithfully in two separate terms with the district. Alan’s passion for Graham Local Schools has been evident in every decision in which he has been involved. His leadership will be greatly missed. On behalf of the Graham Local Schools and community, I thank him for his exemplary public service and wish Alan the best,” Superintendent Brad Silvus said in the release.

The board must name a replacement within 30 days, and the newly appointed member will serve the unexpired term until Dec. 31, 2023, the release stated.

Those interested in applying can visit the district’s website, select the Board of Education page and Board Member Applications. Applications are due by Thursday, Dec. 3, to Silvus at silvusb@grahamlocalschools.org.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a district resident and a registered voter.
