Gohring to leave school board after 21 years

After two decades of service, Rick Gohring has decided not to seek another term on the Fulton School Board.

"It's a hard decision because if you're interested in public education and trying to improve the educational system for our students, it's great," Gohring said. "I think 21 years, it's been a good run. I'm proud of the accomplishments the board has done.

"I felt it was time for me to step aside and allow others the opportunity (to serve)."
