Wake School Board members voted yesterday against having Keith Sutton return as their chairman for the upcoming year. Board members didn’t explain why they replaced Sutton, who during his term, hired Jim Merrill to be the new superintendent, convinced the public to back an $810 million school construction bond issue and held off efforts of the county commissioners to take over owning and building schools.
The board voted 7 to 9 to have Christine Kushner replace Sutton.
