Activists: School board member should resign

Peggy Perkins, a mother of three students in the Hempstead school district, along with a small group of other community activists and parents, on Thursday, called for school board member Randy Stith to step down from the panel, questioning his fitness for office after recent guilty pleas to crimes committed while he served as a village police officer and volunteer firefighter.
