On Feb. 29, Noel Petra resigned from the Guilford Board of Education (BOE). The Guilford Town Charter (Chapter 2, 2-5[a]) requires that a vacated elective board seat shall, if practicable, be filled by a member of the same political party as the vacating member. Therefore, the Guilford BOE is seeking a currently registered Independent and resident of Guilford to fill the vacancy until the next regular town election in November 2025.
Candidates interested in representing and balancing the educational interests of students in Guilford Public Schools, as well as Guilford citizens and the State of Connecticut by serving on the BOE should contact Board Chair Katie Balestracci at balestraccik@guilfordschools.org by Wednesday, April 3.
The BOE will fill the vacancy by vote of the remaining members in an upcoming meeting.
The BOE and Guilford Public Schools wish to thank Mr. Petra for his service on the BOE and his dedication to the students, staff, and families of the school district.
