The Darien Republican Town Committee has proposed David Brown of Revere Road to replace Elizabeth Hagerty-Ross, a former chairperson of the Board of Education and currently it’s vice chairperson, on this November’s ballot. If the May 29 GOP caucus of party members in town endorses the choice, Brown will be on the ballot this November. Board of Education terms last three years, with three of the nine members up for election each year. Current board member Debra Ritchie, who was chosen to complete the remaining term of Sarah Zuro (who resigned), was also proposed by the RTC as a candidate when the town committee met on May 9. Democrat Katherine Stein’s term on the Board of Education also ends this November.
