Mitchell Moses, who was selected Tuesday night to fill a seat vacated by trustee Ryan O'Gorman, said he plans to run in the November general election.
The Berkley School District Board of Education appointed Mitchell Moses to fill a seat vacated by trustee Ryan O'Gorman during a special session Tuesday night at the Avery Center in Oak Park. "I'm very excited about being on the school board and starting to help the district," Moses said Wednesday, adding that he hopes to bring a "fresh, insightful perspective" to the board. O'Gorman announced June 7 that he would step down from the board June 30. O'Gorman's family purchased a home outside the district, which disqualified him from serving as a trustee. Moses will serve until Dec. 31 and has the option to run in this November's general election, which he said he plans to do. "After extensive interviews with seven candidates and lengthy …
