Seat filled on FWCS board
Business owner picked on nearly unanimous vote
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
In a matter of weeks, Noah Smith went from voting for Bill Critell in the District 3 Fort Wayne Community Schools board race to accepting a nearly unanimous board vote for that same seat.
Smith and Critell exchanged a handshake Monday after the board selected Smith from among four other people seeking to serve the term the reelected incumbent didn't want.
Smith, 49, will be sworn in Jan. 11 with Nov. 3 election winners Steve Corona of District 5 and Jennifer Matthias of District 2.
The board Monday unanimously accepted Tom Smith's resignation from District 3, effective Jan. 1.
