Ed Wilson, school board member – district 4, resigned his position recently to assist an ailing family member.
He explained the situation to WIZS News Tuesday by phone.
Wilson praised the school system for providing him patience over the last six months as he’s spent more time providing love to his immediate family. He said the resignation was his decision.
Vance County Schools has a meeting planned for 10:30 a.m. Thursday to discuss the vacancy.
Wilson was elected in November of 2012. Previously he served as athletic director of Southern Vance High School for just over 20 years before retiring. Before working with the school system, he retired from the United States Army after 27 years of service.
