MANASSAS — Kenneth Nixon won election to the Manassas School Board.
Before he was sworn in, the school division says he won’t take the seat. The school division did not say why Nixon didn’t accept the position.
A press release states: City of Manassas School Board member-elect Kenneth T. Nixon Jr. has decided to resign from his position as an elected School Board Member for Manassas City Public Schools. Nixon was elected to serve as a member of the School Board on November 6, 2018.

The Board will solicit applications from legally qualified citizens interested in the position. Letters of interest and a brief resume should be sent to the School Board in care of Alba Garza, Clerk of the Board by mail (P.O.
