School board member Michael Wilson has submitted his resignation from the Lawrence Township Board of Education, effective immediately. He turned in his letter of resignation Aug. 19.
Mr. Wilson cited increased professional responsibilities and demands for his consultative work as reasons for resigning. His term would have expired in April 2006. He has served on the school board since 2000.
