The Board of Education for the Little Miami School District will discuss on Friday how they'll go about filling a vacancy left by former member Dan Smith.
Smith resigned from the school board on Wednesday after social media posts he made came to light in which he denied the Holocaust and praised Hitler.

In a statement shared with WVXU the same day as his resignation, the Little Miami Board of Education indicated Smith now regrets the posts.
"The Board recently became aware of social media posts from Mr. Smith that raised serious concerns and do not reflect the standards expected of those serving in public office. Mr. Smith has acknowledged that these posts were wrong and has accepted responsibility for the impact they have had," a portion of the statement reads. "While he has indicated that the posts do not reflect his actual beliefs, the Board agrees with his decision that stepping aside is in the best interest of the district so that the focus can remain on serving our students and families. The Little Miami Local School District remains committed to providing a respectful and welcoming environment for every student."
