Board appoints Peter Bacon to fill vacant seat
Summary
The board appointed Peter Bacon to the vacant seat by roll-call vote after hearing candidate statements; Peter Bacon will be sworn in by the town clerk and join the board immediately.
The Willington Board of Education appointed Peter Bacon to a vacant seat on June 9 after a roll-call vote among board members.
Peter Bacon introduced himself at the meeting, describing his community involvement (CIP, the school building committee, coaching and scouting) and public safety background. A roll-call tally announced during the meeting gave Peter a majority of votes among the nominees; the board chair welcomed him and reminded him to see the town clerk to be sworn in.
The appointment followed the board's announcement of Samantha's resignation earlier in the agenda. The board postponed decisions about filling Samantha's former committee roles (such as secretary and SBC representative) until July to allow time for members to consider assignments.
Next steps: The new member will complete required onboarding and the town clerk will administer the oath of office.
