Injunction expected against South Range BOE as member in question resigns

NORTH LIMA

An attorney will file an injunction against the South Range Board of Education sometime next week while the board maintains it did nothing wrong.

Board member Amy White, whose appointment is in question, resigned Tuesday. The board unanimously accepted the resignation, with White abstaining.

“It would appear that my appointment to the board of education has become a source of unwelcome controversy,” White’s resignation letter states. “In order to prevent the unnecessary expenditure of district funds on litigation, which I’m convinced the district could win, it is my decision to resign from the board of education effective immediately.”

That letter was read Tuesday morning after a 30-minute executive session during a special 7 a.m. meeting of the South Range school board. White’s letter said that she would reapply for her vacancy. Bruce Zinz resigned from the board Feb. 16, creating the vacancy.

She was selected unanimously March 16. A gold and black metallic nameplate with her name on it was in the meeting room before the public vote.
