CANTON A former Canton Central School board member has filled a seat recently vacated by Eileen Raymond.
CCS Superintendent Ron Burke said Raymond stepped down due to personal reasons.
The Board had three choices for the vacant seat. They could appoint someone, hold a special election or wait until the annual budget vote in May to vote.
Board President Victor Rycroft noted that the timing of the vacancy was important due to members being tasked with the new school budget and a capital project.
The Board decided to appoint Michelle Myers to the vacant seat. She has previous experience and board members felt her experience would be valuable dealing with the complicated nature of the budget and capital project season.
