The chairman of the Vermont State Board of Education is stepping down.
Tom James, a retired IBM executive, has served a six-year term on the board and will attend his final monthly meeting on September 15th.
James was appointed chairman in February 2005. James says he’s pleased to have been a part of the initial phase of the transformation of education in Vermont. He’s pleased to be part of an effort to ensure all students will be prepared when they graduate from high school to be successful in college, careers, and as citizens.
A new chairman will be chosen at the board’s September meeting.
