12/11/12 - Cheryl Leach conducted her last meeting Monday night as president of the Brighton Area Schools Board of Education. Leach has been board president for the past three years and was treasurer in her first year on the board. Board members and Superintendent Greg Gray all were high in their praise of Leach for helping to ârightâ the district ship after tumultuous times under previous boards and administrations. Leach tells WHMI that the school district has successfully overcome many difficulties over the last several years. Leach, a retired former superintendent in the Clarenceville School District, says she has been going to school board meetings for the last 24 years and that is enough for anyone. Leach is married and the coupleâs son graduated from Brighton High School in June. She and her husband plan to travel on behalf of the family business, E & M Consulting, a medical coding and applications company. Leach says the board will be in good hands after her departure. Its membership will soon include newcomer Nick Fiani, who was elected to replace Leach as a trustee in November. He will be sworn in at an organizational meeting in January, at which time officers will be elected for the coming year. (TT)
