West Windsor-Plainsboro board member Robin Zovich resigns; board to fill vacancy within 65 days
Summary
Board member Robin Zovich of Plainsboro submitted a resignation for personal reasons; board leaders outlined the public appointment process, deadlines and screening requirements at the meeting.
Robin Zovich, a member of the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District Board of Education from Plainsboro, submitted her resignation for personal reasons, the district announced at the board's public meeting. Board leaders said the vacancy must be publicly posted and filled through a public interview and appointment process.
The announcement came during the meeting when a district official said the resignation was received by text that day. The official noted that board policy 0143.1 governs vacancies and requires the board to fill a vacancy within 65 days. The district plans to post the public notice on its website the next business day and expects to hold interviews by the board's June 24 meeting, officials said.
Under the process described at the meeting, the board will interview candidates in public, then deliberate and select an appointee during a public meeting. Any appointed candidate must complete fingerprint clearance before being sworn in by the superintendent; the appointed member would serve for the remainder of the current term through Dec. 31. If the appointee wishes to run for the board's next three-year term beginning in January, they must file a separate candidate application in July.
Board leaders thanked Zovich for her service. No vote to accept or reject the resignation was recorded on the meeting transcript; board members described the posting and interview timeline as the next administrative steps. The district said the full notice with eligibility criteria will appear on the district website.
