It’ll be Arlington School Board member David Priddy wielding the gavel and fulfilling other chair duties through early summer.
Current School Board Chairman Cristina Diaz-Torres used a recently approved policy change to take a leave of absence as chair through June. She will remain on the panel with full voting privileges.
Priddy, the board’s current vice chair, will serve as interim chair until Diaz-Torres reclaims the post.
“We wish you, Cristina, all the best in this new phase of your life as you enter motherhood,” Priddy said at the March 21 board meeting.
(Diaz-Torres was watching but not participating in the meeting, Priddy said; she will be able to participate remotely in the coming meeting.)
