Strongsville Board Of Education Member Resigns, Applicants Sought

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Applications are now welcome as the Strongsville Schools look to replace departed Board of Education member Seth Roberts.

Roberts resigned Monday after his family moved out of the district. During his tenure with the board, Roberts served on both the Finance and Business Advisory Council committees. He was also the board's liaison for the Ohio School Boards Association Student Achievement recognition.

“Our family has absolutely loved living in Strongsville. Our family has had an amazing time attending Strongsville schools at Kinsner Elementary, making lifelong friends through school, neighbors, youth sports, and attending many community events. I have truly enjoyed coaching many different basketball and baseball teams, getting to know so many different families and serving the community on the school board. Strongsville will forever have a special place in myself, my wife Melissa, and our boys hearts,” Roberts said.

Roberts' replacement will serve through Dec. 31, 2021.

Applicants to replace Roberts must be at least 18-years-old, live in the Strongsville Schools district and be registered voters. Interested applicants can visit the district website at www.strongnet.org to access an online application, or pick up a paper version of the application in the lobby of the Administrative Offices, 18199 Cook Avenue.

Applicants must include a cover letter, a resume, and the completed application, which can either be submitted electronically to Treasurer George Anagnostou (ganagnostou@scsmustangs.org) or dropped off in the mailbox outside of the Administrative Offices. Electronic submissions must contain the signature of the applicant on the application.

Applications must be submitted by Thursday at 4 p.m. Invitations to candidates will be issued Friday and interviews will take place Saturday during a special Board of Education meeting at 9 a.m.

The final candidate will be voted on by the Board at the Sept. 2 meeting.
