Local News in Brief : Agoura School Official Moves, Must Resign
Arecently elected member of the Oak Park Unified School District’s board of education resigned this week after he moved a short distance away from the boundaries of the school system in Agoura.
“We still live in Agoura but we crossed the line into L. A. County, that’s why he had to quit,” Roger Wakefield’s wife, Patty, said Thursday. “It’s three minutes away, if that. He felt really bad about it.”
Wakefield, who served as the board’s clerk, was elected last November to a four-year term. The school board this week appointed Pat Manning, the district’s first school board president, to fill the position until elections in 1987, board member Richard Daley said.
State law requires that school board members live in the district they serve, Manning said.
