JAMESTOWN – There’s a new member on the Jamestown School Board. Last night the board appointed Shelly Leathers to fill the open seat vacated by Timothy Thomas earlier this year. Leathers will finish the term, which ends this school year, and has the option to run for a full, three-year term during the May 2014 Board of Education elections.
Leathers, a Jamestown High School alumnus, comes to the Board of Education with considerable experience in both the education and financial fields. She is currently employed at L.J. Stein as an accounting manager but also has worked as an adjunct instructor at Jamestown Business College, business education teacher at Jamestown High School and worked in public accounting at BWB.
Mrs. Leathers lives in Jamestown with her husband David, also a JHS alumnus. Her children graduated from Jamestown High School and are currently attending Kent State University and Ohio State University.
