Newly elected Danville District 118 School Board member Kim Corley is actually a former district employee, having worked as secretary for Northeast School. Now, while working as Communications Director for Second Church of Christ, she has been elected to the school board; having received the second most votes in the recent election, behind the other elected newcomer, Alice Payne. Corley says she is thrilled with the support she received; and is very much looking forward to helping the children, staff, and families of District 118. She says a main goal for her is working on improving communication within the district, along with academic assistance for those that need it; and those are just the beginning.

Reelected to the District 118 Board was Pastor Thomas Miller, who received the third most votes. Incumbents Elder Tyson Parks and Christopher Easton were not reelected. One person will still need to be be appointed to a two-year term that is still open. The reorganization meeting for District 118’s Board is set for April 26th.
