FARMINGTON/HILLS Newly elected Farmington Public Schools Board of Education candidates Cheryl Blau and Mable Fox will begin their terms as trustees in the district a bit earlier than scheduled.
By 5-0 votes for each, Blau was appointed to fill former Board President Pam Green’s seat until January, at which time she will resign and be sworn in to her elected six-year term, and Fox was appointed to complete the rest of Vice President Terry Johnson’s days in office.
