Todisco Voted New School Board Chairman

The vote was 5-0, with two abstentions.

Frank Todisco of Pawcatuck was elected the new chairman of the Board of Education Thursday night.

Todisco was elected by a 5-0 vote with two abstentions. He takes over for Gail MacDonald, who had helmed the board since 2009. MacDonald was re-elected to the board in the recent municipal election.

"I am honored that the BOE has chosen me to be the chair," Todisco told Patch late Thursday night. "Gail has given all she has to advocating and seeking what is best for the students. I look forward to working with her and the entire board as we move forward."
