The Spearfish School District 40-2 board accepted the resignation of board member Ryan Neeson, effective June 9, and voted to advertise the vacancy, the board announced at its meeting.
Board member (identified in the transcript as "Board member") moved, "I would like to make motion that we approve Ryan Neeson's resignation as effective June 9 from the school board," and the motion was seconded. The Chair called for the ayes and recorded approval with no opposed votes.
