Board Vacancy
On Thursday, Jan. 9, District 191 School Board member Safio Mursal announced her resignation from the Board, effective Jan. 7.
As required by state law, the Board will appoint a replacement. Because the vacancy occurred with less than two years before the end of Mural’s term, no special election is required and the person the Board appoints will serve for the remainder of the term, which ends in January 2027.
Mursal was elected in 2022 with her term beginning in January 2023.
