Former BOE President Peck to Resign

Former Board of Education President Rusty Peck has decided to file his resignation with the Board, according to the Windsor Democratic Town Committee.

Peck has cited family reasons for his leaving, the WDTC said.

"Rusty has done a lot of great things for Windsor's children and our schools during his tenure on the Board," said WDTC Chair Leo Canty.

"Life deals us a tough set of cards sometimes and I know Rusty has a set that needs a lot of attention - I do wish him and his family well as he attends to family matters and we thank him dearly for all the huge gains he helped us make while he was a BOE leader."

Peck's resignation leaves a spot on the Board, and Windsor Dems are actively searching for interested candidates to take the open seat.

Interviews of prospective candidates will be held in the coming weeks, followed by a Committee recommendation for replacement during a January 12 meeting.

Anyone interested in interviewing for the seat is encouraged to contact WDTC Chair Leo Canty by calling 860-794-6075 or via e-mail at unionleo@aol.com.
