AKRON, Ohio-Esau Perry announced his resignation from the Akron Public Schools’ Board of Education during a regular meeting. He is stepping down to take a part-time magistrate position under Judge Elinore Marsh Stormer, where he will handle mental illness cases—a field he is familiar with as a former defense attorney. Perry described the decision as spur-of-the-moment, having received the appointment offer recently. Stormer, who has worked with Perry for a decade, praised his preparation and respect from clients, highlighting his compassionate approach as vital for dealing with sensitive cases. Although Perry expressed that his resignation is “bittersweet,” he had planned to complete his term since his election in 2021. His new role marks a significant step in his legal career, having practiced criminal defense since 2005.
