In her resignation letter in October, Twomey said

“I joined the Board in 2008 in order to serve a district thick with tension and a deep desire for change. Since then we have seen our district blossom due to the noble changes championed by our community. This change in direction led to the creation of a strategic plan that has guided our efforts as a Board to this day. Together with our community and Administrative team, the Board of Education has been guided by our strategic plan and implemented an elementary restructuring, stabilized our finances, and significantly strengthened our academics. I am proud to have been a part of this revitalization of our Schools.

“Earlier this year our Board had another vacancy. During the process to select a new trustee I saw eight amazing community members come forward to serve. I know that there are many others in our great community that are ready to take my place and I will be leaving the Board in highly capable hands. I plan on staying active within our district and will now focus on other areas of need; diversity, equity and inclusion, my own children and their schools. I am loyal to our beautiful Eagles and will continue to serve our district wherever there is a calling.”
