— OAKLAND — Jim Raley’s election to the county commission means that a seat on the school board is now in flux, at an already uncertain time for Garrett County schools.
Raley will resign from the school board to take his new office, creating a vacancy that will be filled, by law, through an appointment by the county commission. The appointee will serve out the remaining two years of his term, through 2012.
The appointee could be a person from any political party and any part of the county, because Raley’s seat is designated for a member-at-large.
