A Sudbury Catholic District School Board trustee resigned last month, just a few weeks into his second term as trustee.
In October, while the school board elections were underway, a social media post indicated Cimino was a student teacher with the Sudbury Catholic board. Sudbury.com reached out to Cimino on these issues as early as Oct. 27, shortly after the municipal election, and he told us he would be making a statement.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances with both my current studies in education and my role as a Trustee, I cannot fulfill the role to its fullest capacity.” Cimino said in his letter there was a “plan in place to overcome them by taking a leave of absence” . However, he said the board now has to replace Cimino within 90 days, whether that’s by appointing someone in his place — possibly by inviting eligible people to apply — or holding a byelection. The board chair said Sudbury Catholic will be exploring options to replace Cimino at their next meeting, which is being held this evening.
