Andy Burchfield, who has held the reins as Brighton Board of Education president for the past four years, will be leaving his position at the end of the year.
Burchfield announced several months ago that he would not be running for another term on the Board of Education. He has led the board through calm waters and during contentious times, including recent months, in which the board and teachersâ union were stalemated over a yearly salary reopener in their contract well into the school year. That was ultimately settled with the two sides ratifying the agreement in late November.
