Marietta resigning from Xenia school board
XENIA Jennifer Marietta will be resigning from the Xenia board of education effective Monday, March 1.
A board member since late 2016, Marietta has accepted a position with the Greene County Juvenile Court and new Judge Amy Lewis, which creates a potential conflict of interest due to the nature of the court’s work.
“I will be hearing cases as a magistrate which will involve Xenia families and students,” Marietta said. “Some will likely involve school staff, like truancy and parental educational neglect.”
The resignation will become official during a special meeting Monday. The board is scheduled to hold a discussion about filling the open seat and is expected to go into executive session at the end of the meeting.
