AKRON, Ohio-The Akron Board of Education is under pressure to fill a vacant seat following Job Perry’s resignation, with 20 candidates vying for the position. The board has opted to elect the new member rather than appoint one. Each candidate must undergo an interview process, which is expected to occur before the next scheduled board meeting on October 7. However, the board has decided to use the full 30-day period allowed for this process. If the vacancy is not filled within that time, Summit County Probate Court will make the selection. As of Thursday, no specific dates for interviews or the internal election have been set. The list of candidates includes names such as Tommy Alvarado, Gwendolyn Bryant, and Evelyn Rizzo, among others.
