LEMON GROVE
Lemon Grove School District governing board President Larry Loschen announced his resignation from the school board on June 30.
Loschen, who has served on the board of the 4,000-student district since a 2009 appointment, and whose term was to expire in November 2022, did not provide a reason for resigning in his formal letter to Paul Gothold, superintendent of the San Diego County Board of Education, and to Lemon Grove Superintendent Erica Balakian.
His resignation was effective July 6.
In an email to The San Diego Union-Tribune, Loschen wrote: “It has been my pleasure to serve the students of Lemon Grove for the past 12 years. As I step away from my role on the Governing Board, I do so knowing that my ongoing commitment to our students’ academic achievement and success, will continue under the exceptional leadership of Superintendent Balakian and the outstanding Cabinet and Management teams she has brought together.”
