Lewis said he was resigning effective that day “due to health concerns.”
“I appreciate the help and guidance given to me by my co-board members,” he said in the letter. “I am proud of the accomplishments we made in the past three years.”
Lewis, 66, a former Miamisburg High School football coach, is a lifelong city resident and graduate of Miamisburg High School. He retired from the district in 2014 after 34 years in education, 28 of them with Miamisburg, district officials said.
He was elected in November 2019, beginning his tenure in January 2020. Lewis was named board vice-president at the Jan. 3 school board meeting.
The district said in a release Tuesday that it is committed to finding the best candidate to fill the position and is accepting resumes from interested candidates.
Those who wish to be considered for the open board seat, which expires Dec. 31, must submit their name and resume by 4 p.m. today. All resumes should be sent to Miamisburg City Schools Treasurer Justin Blevins at jblevins@miamisburg.k12.oh.us.
“The district would like to take this opportunity to express its gratitude and appreciation for Mr. Lewis, who dedicated his service on the Miamisburg Board of Education,” Miamisburg schools said in the release. “His selfless gift of time has been invaluable in making our school district a better place for our students.”
Miamisburg schools has 30 days from his April 7 resignation to appoint someone. The board is having a special board meeting Monday to discuss the matter, officials said.
