Wicomico Clerk of the Court Mark S. Bowen swears in Don Fitzgerald for a second term on the Wicomico County Board of Education today, as Board President Ron Willey looks on. Fitzgerald's first term officially ended June 30, 2014, but he continued to serve on the Board -- and serve as its vice president -- while awaiting word on his reappointment during and after the election year. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan recently appointed Fitzgerald to a second five-year term, dating from July 1, 2014. Two more Board members appointed by the Governor are expected to be sworn in this month.
Don is a good man who as always had the best of interests of kids in mind.
ReplyDeleteWe still need to vote these folks in or out. Appointments are done behind closed doors...
ReplyDeleteDon is one of the most fair and committed people out there. Good man, good choice.
ReplyDeleteNeeds to be voted on. That only makes it fair. If he is a good man he will win the election.
ReplyDeleteDon has always been a terrific person and a man of good common sense. Good luck, Don, and thank you for your service to our community!
ReplyDeletethere wasn't anyone else who wanted to be appointed/run? maybe time for new blood, let others have a chance.
ReplyDeleteHe has the courage of his convictions. He, along with Dr. Elmore, voted in an open meeting not to renew the current superintendent's contract. He stands up for students, parents and employees. We should be thankful he'll give his time and energy on our behalf.
ReplyDeleteI would add to 9:06's remark that Mr. Dodd abstained, thus not voting to renew either.
