I am not Running for Re-Election for School Board.

I will continue to be active in helping Millville reach its potential.

I hope good people run for the board and have the time to learn and be dedicated board members. Here is an article from the Feb 11th Daily Journal written by Joel Landau. The gallery will open March 3rd Friday and will be called Fithian House Gallery.

MILLVILLE -- There will be at least one new member of the Millville Board of Education after the April 21 election.
Mark Krull -- who was elected to a one-year term last year -- said Tuesday he would not run for re-election in April.

Krull said he and his wife, Carolyne, are opening a gallery in their East Pine Street home next month, and he did not feel he had enough time to devote to the school board.

"I can't put the time in it really deserves," he said. "If you can't spend the time, you're not doing a service to the kids, and that's what it's all about."

Krull said he enjoyed serving on the board and it is doing a good job, especially considering economic constraints from the state.

Voters will select three candidates for three-year terms during April's election. The other two members up for reelection, Connie Johnson and Bill Herman, have already returned their petitions to run again, said Business Administrator Bryce Kell.

"There's a need to meet the needs of children in the community," Johnson said. "Anyone who can step forward and volunteer their services should do so."

Herman, the board's president, said he wants to continue to be a part of the district's future.

"We're going in a good direction and I want to see it continue," he said.

Two other residents have requested petitions to run in this year's election, Kell said, but he declined to reveal the prospective candidates' identities
