The reason for her resignation is unknown as the board president declined to comment. In addition to the approval of the resignation, they approved the hiring of the new treasurer, Mandy France. France has several years of experience in finance.

“I’m actually looking forward to getting to know the budget, getting to know how the staff ’s dynamics work and get more involved in their mission and vision and being able to support that with the changes that they have coming up with their superintendency,” said France.
