Supervisor John Vasquez noted that the board on Tuesday said goodbye to about 230 years of service to the county, which includes 40 years in education by Superintendent of Schools Jay Speck.
Supervisor Linda Seifert, who also attended her final meeting after eight years on the board, called Speck’s retirement “a significant loss to the county.”
Speck, who is retiring at the end of 2016, was lauded for his commitment to vocational education and for his commitment and compassion for all children.
