School Zone One Needs Trustee


At the December 13 Board meeting, the Board voted to accept the resignation of Trustee Dewey Fisher, due to the fact that he "has moved and no longer resides in Zone 1", although many would dispute that he was ever in the correct zone. Attached is the Announcement of Vacancy.

  1. "Some" would dispute that he was in the correct zone not "many". But he was in the correct zone and that was proven.

  2. Mr. Fisher may have lived in the correct zone when he was appointed, but it was not proven - only testified to via affidavit.

    What was proven is that if he lived in the correct zone, then he was living in one zone and registered in another. And it is proven that he was appointed as trustee of one zone, while he was registered in another.

    It is also proven that the school district spent money on their attorney to help figure it all out.

    No matter, really, Dewey served well and we appreciate it. He and Tim from Lowman brought some honesty to the board when it was sorely needed.
