ARNPRIOR – Renfrew County District School Board Trustee Glenn Miller, who represents the Arnprior family of schools, stepped down from his position during the April 21 board meeting citing health reasons.
After first meeting with RCDSB senior administration, Trustee Miller read a prepared statement to his fellow board members.
“Due to medical reasons I regret to inform the board, as of July 1, 2015, I must relinquish my position as school board trustee for the Arnprior, McNab-Braeside area,” Trustee Miller said. “I would like to thank everyone for supporting me through the last few months of illnesses. With an upcoming liver transplant, I feel I will miss too much time, which is not fair to the board or the communities I serve.”
Following his announcement, Trustee Miller was congratulated for his work by the other board members and Director of Education Roger Clarke.
When the office of a trustee becomes vacant from any cause before the expiration of the term for which he or she was elected other than during the one month immediately preceding an election, the vacancy shall be filled by the appointment of a qualified person or through by-election within 90 days after the office becomes vacant as pursuant to Section 221 of the Education Act.
