Gill resigned from the board following the board's June 16 meeting after being selected to serve in the North Carolina House of Representatives representing District 33. She succeeds former Rep. Dan Blue, who was selected to serve out the remainder of the late Sen. Vernon Malone's term in the N.C. Senate.
New school board chair Kevin L. Hill read the following resolution, which was adopted by the board this afternoon:
