Wauzeka-Steuben school board elects officials

The Wauzeka-Steuben Board of Education dealt with their post-election reorganization at the May 20 meeting. With only four members, the election and designation of officials went quickly; however, the board had to adjust for the resignation of new school board member Spence Bunders.

Bunders, who won election to the board last month, tendered his resignation before his first board meeting. He succeeded Mara Hird, who did not run for re-election.
