There is a vacancy on the Danbury Board of Education and applications are being accepted to fill the role. The term of office is through the November 2019 municipal election. 

The only requirements are that a resident be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen.  Applications should be submitted as soon as possible. 

The opening stems from the election earlier this month when Democrat Jeanne Grandieri won a seat, but didn't know that employees of the school district can't serve on the Board.  Democratic leaders say they didn't know that she accepted a behavioral therapist position with the Danbury school district last month.  With her election, majority power shifted to Democrats, still a 6-5 balance. 

Danbury residents interested in applying for this vacancy should send a letter of application to: Kathleen Molinaro, Secretary Danbury Board of Education 63 Beaver Brook Road Danbury, CT 06810.
