“It was nice that in the end the process worked itself out,” Hutchinson said in an interview, “though it took longer than anyone could have imagined.”
Hutchinson, the school board president, will soon be sworn in to represent a district which spans the Allendale neighborhood in East Oakland to Montclair in the north.
“I haven’t been able to celebrate yet,” he said of his election victory, “because I’ve been in crisis mode for six days.” What will become of the vacant District 5 seat when Hutchinson moves over? The school board will have the choice of appointing a new member within a 60-day timeline, after which the county superintendent of schools can initiate a special election to fill the seat.
Resnick did not immediately concede the race, even after county Registrar Tim Dupuis revealed in late December that he had incorrectly been certified as the election’s winner.
