The Allegany County Board of Education has dealt with several large issues since late October, including an ineligible player causing forfeits, the death of the school board president, seating his replacement, and now the impending departure of Superintendent Jeff Blank this summer.  Current school board president Crystal Bender told WCBC News that Blank will be missed.  Bender added that discussions are underway on how to proceed in hiring a new superintendent and that includes possibly hiring a consultant.
