During a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around the appointment of a new position within the Seymour Board of Education, which has remained vacant for 21 years. The speaker emphasized that this role is distinct from that of the board clerk, who is responsible for documenting meeting minutes and other administrative tasks.

The speaker highlighted the importance of the position, noting that it has been unfilled for over two decades, largely due to the exemplary service of the previous occupant, Leanne Autry. The job description for the new role was carefully crafted to delineate its responsibilities, which include performing various duties as assigned by the superintendent to ensure the efficient operation of the central office.

After a thorough selection process that involved interviewing three candidates, the speaker announced the selection of Shannon Levy as the finalist for the position. This decision was based on established criteria and the specific demands of the role, marking a significant step forward for the Board of Education in filling this long-standing vacancy.
