SEQUIM –– Sequim School Board member Sarah Bedinger will step down from her position representing the western side of the school district next month.
Bedinger, 46, told her School Board colleagues during their regular meeting Tuesday night she will resign from the board June 16, noting that her youngest child will graduate soon from Sequim High School.
“I feel it’s time for someone new to step in,” Bedinger said.
She is currently serving her third term on the School Board.
