The Johnston County Board of Education is taking significant measures to fill a recently vacated seat on the board, a position previously held by Ronald Johnson, who was convicted of extortion among other charges. As the board seeks a replacement, they’ve stipulated that applicants must reside in District 7 and submit a resume with their application. With discussions underway about implementing background checks for candidates, the board aims to ensure a thorough vetting process. Applications are being accepted via email or mail until January 31.
