The Danville District 118 School Board has announced that two new members have been appointed, replacing the recently resigned William Dobbles and Lon Henderson.
The two new members, scheduled to be sworn in later this month, are Elder Tyson Parks and Christopher Easton.
Elder Parks is the District Superintendent for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and has resided in Danville for 27 years.
Christopher Easton is the Chaplain of the Illinois Department of Corrections/OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center/Danville Area Community College, and has resided in Danville for nine years
District 118 School Board president Dr. Randal Ashton says the list of candidates was very solid, but the two who were selected stood out even more.
AUDIO: We were excited with all of the applicants that were there, and decided that any of them would have been a great acquisition to our board. But the two final candidates that we selected we’re really excited about, and looking forward to working with them in the future. I think they’re going to be outstanding school board members.
Parks and Easton are scheduled to be sworn in at the District 118 Board’s regular meeting on October 27th.
