School Board Member Clare Chesley's Resignation Letter

Here is the text of Clare Chesley's resignation letter to the Monrovia Board of Education:

Dear Board of Trustees:

Please accept this letter of my resignation from the Monrovia Unified School Board of Trustees effective August 1, 2011. My resignation is due to the fact that I will be moving my place of residence to La Canada, California for personal reasons.

It has been a great honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Monrovia and the students and staff of our district. I have enjoyed working side by side with all of you who are consummate professionals and share the common goal of making our district World Class.

Sincerely,

Clare R. Chesley, Esq.

Oh, yeah, she adds that she and her children, Fiona and Emory, "just completed the Oxnard 'Strawberry Fields' Triathlon on Sunday. It was our 6th. The kids did great. Fiona got on the podium (3rd) despite getting a flat tire and having to carry her bike the last 2 miles barefoot."
