2 Men Named to Neb. Board of Education

nebraska-department-of-education(AP) — Two eastern Nebraska men have been named to fill the two openings on the State Board of Education.

The office of Gov. Dave Heineman said Tuesday that he’d selected Glen Flint, of Springfield, to represent District 2 and John Witzel, of Papillion (puh-PIHL’-yuhn), to represent District 4.

The 57-year-old Flint is a computer programmer at Northrup Grumman. He’s replacing Mark Quandahl, who resigned in late January.

The 62-year-old Witzel is on the board of Educational Service Unit No. 3 and is a U.S. Air Force retiree. He replaces Rebecca Valdez, who resigned in February.

Their terms run through 2016.
