Two Marble Falls Independent School District trustees submitted their resignations Monday to the Board of Trustees, which appointed a familiar face to fill one of the vacancies.
The board accepted the resignations of Dr. Kelly Fox and Larry “Coach” Berkman following a 78-minute executive session in which the board met with its attorney behind closed doors. The board then appointed former Trustee Mike Savage to serve in Berkman's stead for the next 11 months.
