The Hillsboro school district hosted their June school board meeting on Tuesday evening. The meeting began with the formal resignation of one of the board members.

Board President Bill Clinard sent an email to board members on June 3, stating that he would be resigning from the board due to medical reasons, effective immediately. The board voted unanimously to accept the resignation.

Superintendent David Powell read in a statement that Clinard was a man of integrity and was never afraid to take a stand for what he believed in. Powell said he would miss the leadership Clinard brought to the board for thirteen years, and that he looked forward to continuing his friendship for many years to come.

Board Vice President Barbara Adams will serve as acting president until a new president is selected.
