Pam Currie has stepped down as one of the Estevan trustees for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division’s board.
Currie made the announcement at Wednesday’s Cornerstone board meeting. She has been a part of school boards for more than 20 years, serving with the former Estevan Public School Board from 1997 until 2005, and then as an Estevan trustee on the Cornerstone board from 2006 until her resignation.
Currie and her husband Paul are moving to Esterhazy to be closer to family, which means she can no longer sit on the board.
She had fulfilled one year of a four-year commitment, so the successful candidate would be required to complete the term.
“I was happy to serve on the board all these years because I felt it was important to get Estevan’s point across at the table,” Currie said. “I thought, I hoped, I was doing good things and I spoke up when I figured it was necessary to do so.”
A by-election to fill Currie’s seat is slated for March 7, 2018. Nominations to fill the vacant position must be filed no later than Jan. 31.
Next week’s edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
