Residents came together on Saturday, December 12 at Brothers Encore Italian Restaurant in Montclair to celebrate the public service of School Board members Milt Johns and Betty Covington.
Speakers included Alyson Satterwhite, Gainesville District School Board Representative, Gil Trenum, Brentsville District School Board Representative, Dr. Michael Otaigbe, Coles District School Board Representative and Tim Singstock who organized the event.
The attendees focused on the dedication and commitment of these two public servants.
Covington was first elected to the School Board in the Dumfries District in 1995. She stepped down and went back to work as an Elementary School principal until running again in 2003.
In addition to her service on the School Board where she has served continuously from 2003 through 2015, Covington has committed over half a century of her life to Prince William County Schools.
Johns was elected to represent the Brentsville District in 2003. He was elected Chairman – At Large in 2007 and will serve through the end of 2015. Johns did not seek reelection this year. When speaking, Johns noted that his single greatest accomplishment as Chairman of the School Board was “opening the schools on time every year.”
Neabsco District School Board member Lisa Bell and Coles District School Board member Dr. Micheal Otaigbe will also retire from the School Board at the end of December.
A new School Board was sworn in earlier this month following the Nov. 3 election.
