The South Butler School Board has welcomed back a familiar face following a recent resignation.
After member Bob Goodlin notified the board of his plans to resign in a letter last week, outgoing board member Matthew Cimbala accepted an appointment by the board to the vacant seat.
Solicitor Tom Breth gave the board his legal opinion that the action did not violate any laws but he did suggest a public vote Wednesday night to reaffirm the choice. Members Debra Miller and George Zacherl voted to oppose the appointment.
Cimbala will complete Goodlin’s term which runs for another two years until December of 2021.
