Ronald Willey has decided not to continue as president of the Wicomico County Board of Education for the rest of his term.
He told the Salisbury Daily Times that he felt the board had become “voices crying in the wilderness.”
Willey has been sharply critical of the county’s fiscal 2016 budget that only failed to include a one-time $800-thousand increase in money for student literacy.
Willey said last year that he leave the presidency of the board this year while staying on to complete his term in 2017.
There will be a session to re-organize the board in July.
Governor Larry Hogan has appointed two new board members to replace Larry Dodd and Marvin Blye.
