PLYMOUTH – Margie Burgess won her first seat on the Plymouth School Committee the hard way. She lost it in the same fashion.
Twenty-three years after winning her first election for the school board, Burgess was ousted Saturday by a newcomer who failed in her first bid to fill a vacancy just months earlier. Burgess did the same thing in 1998, getting the nod from voters after town officials gave her a pass.
In a five-candidate race for three three-year terms Saturday, Burgess was edged out of a seat on the board by Katherine Jackson by 290 votes. Board Chairman Kim Savery Hunt and member Vedna Heywood won re-election to the Committee with 3,086 votes and 2,811 votes, respectively.
