Another trustee at the Near North District School Board has resigned.
The board says Zone 3 trustee Jeanie Fuscaldo submitted her resignation at Tuesday night’s meeting, effective June 11.
She says the decision was difficult to make and was based on an impending conflict of interest.
Zone three covers an area from Powassan to McDougall.
Chantal Phillips, one of four trustees in the North Bay and West Nipissing area, submitted her resignation last month, stating she’s moving from the region.
“Chair St. Pierre thanked Trustees Fuscaldo and Phillips for their contributions to public education,” states a release.
The board previously stated options for filling vacancies are outlined in the Education Act, which says remaining elected members can appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy within 90 days after it becomes vacant, if the majority of members remain in office.
A by-election is held to fill the vacancy, if a majority of the elected members do not remain in office.
The next election is Oct. 2026.
