After a period of vacancies, the Orange County Board of Education’s newest member is Jessica Aguilar.

Monday will be Aguilar’s first meeting as a member of the seven-person board.

“I just want to offer my academic and experiential training as well as my personal knowledge of the challenges facing our children daily as a contribution to the Board’s continuing efforts to make academic success and healthy personal development a part of each child’s school experience,” she said.

She is an Investigator with the Durham County District Attorney’s office and has children that are students in the district.

Aguilar was appointed during the board’s February 8th meeting.
