School Board Seeks To Fill Vacancy By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – With the recent election of Scott Sargent to the Township Council, the search is on for his replacement on the Board of Education. The Board is inviting residents to apply for appointment to a board seat that is available Dec. 21, following Sargent’s resignation. He will be sworn into his new council position on January 3, 2023. Jackson School District Business Administrator and Board Secretary Michelle Richardson said the process for filling a vacancy like this differs from a typical school board election. The person appointed by the Board will take the oath of
office and become a full member of the Board on Dec. 21and will continue to serve in that position through the reorganization meeting in early January 2024. This individual and anyone else in the community - will have the opportunity to campaign for this seat in the election to be held on November 7, 2023, according to the district. In order to be considered for this appointment, any interested party must submit a resume and cover letter that outlines the reasons for wanting to be on the Board and the qualifications for being selected. These materials can be mailed to the attention (School - See Page 9)

Pathfinders Invite Eagle Scouts To Pitch Projects
By Bob Vosseller JACKSON – You could say the Jackson Pathfinders are helping Eagle Scouts to soar. Jackson Pathfinders Chairman Matt McCall told The Jackson Times recently that “what we do is invite potential Eagle Scout candidates
to walk our trails and come up with ideas and propose projects that they would like to complete. “Several times, potential Eagle Scout candidates have reached out to us and stated they did not currently have any ideas, but would
be willing to come to a Pathfinder meeting and listen to some of our suggestions,” he said. McCall added, “either way, it is a win. We have an Eagle Scout project slated to take place in November that was the result of a Scout asking us for ideas. We
recommended replacing a small walkway on the Silver Stream trail. The Scout thought that was something he could do, and presto, his project was blessed.” “As of now, the Pathfinders would like several benches installed across a few of the
trails. We would like a boardwalk replaced, some more wooden crossings over wet areas built, as well as a few other projects,” McCall said. The Jackson Pathfinders is a volunteer trail preservation group (Projects - See Page 9)
