Morgan County School Board has a New Member

The Morgan County R-2 Board of Education has a new member. Veronica Dobbins has been selected to replace Highway Patrol Trooper Anthony Piercy who resigned from the Board in January after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Brandon Ellingson, who allegedly drowned at the Lake after going overboard in the wrong type of lifejacket while in the custody of the Highway Patrol’s Water Patrol Division. Piercy was recently formally arraigned last week and has pled not guilty to the charges against him. Dobbins will serve one year of Piercy’s term with a candidate to be elected to a three year term in the April 2017 election.
