Bob Hughes has announced his intention to resign from the board of directors of the Lake Washington School District, effective April 1. Hughes noted that he and his wife would be moving out of the district to live closer to their grandchildren.
Hughes has served on the board since June 1978, and as board president in 1983, 1986, 1987 and 1993. Hughes has become an expert on both educational and technology reform, speaking at more than 600 workshops and conferences, organizing nine major conferences and educating legislators.
Current board president Jackie Pendergrass stated the board will announce a process for filling Hughes' position through board appointment shortly. He served as the board member from District 2, which is made up of the geographic boundaries for Bell Elementary, Community School, Franklin Elementary, Kirk Elementary, Lakeview Elementary, Kirkland Junior High and Lake Washington High School, all in Kirkland.
Candidates must be registered voters who live in that area. If appointed, they would serve until the next regularly scheduled board election, in November 2007.[[In-content Ad]]
