Ulrich-Nims Resigns From School Bd

Peggy Ulrich-Nims resigned from the Board of Education on Tuesday because her

family is moving to Massachusetts this week.

A Democrat, Mrs Ulrich-Nims has served on the school board since 1995, when

she was appointed to replace Michael Osborne.

In a letter to Board of Education Chairman Amy Dent, First Selectman Herb

Rosenthal, Democratic Town Committee Chairman Earl Smith, Jr, and

Superintendent of Schools John Reed, Mrs Ulrich-Nims expressed her

appreciation for the opportunity to serve on the board for the past three

years.

"It's with heartfelt thanks for this opportunity that I go on to a new

community, hoping that the schools, staff and board are as effective and

committed as each of you," she wrote.

"The opportunity to work with each of you and to know each of you has been a

significant part of my years in Newtown, and I most certainly wish my tenure

here had been longer. I look forward, however, to continued contact as I

follow the exciting issues ahead from afar."

The Democratic Town Committee will recommend a replacement for Mrs Ulrich-Nims

on the school board.
