Dr. Jones for West Geauga Board of Education — Family First

About Dr. Jones

Dr. Jehoshaphat K. Jones

Service to Newbury

Dr. Jones serves as an alternate on the Newbury Township Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).

Why this role matters

The Board of Zoning Appeals reviews appeals of zoning decisions, requests for variances, and conditional uses authorized by the township’s zoning resolution. These decisions affect how land and property can be used in the community. An alternate helps the board continue its work when a regular member is absent and, when serving in that member’s place under township procedures, may vote on the matters before the board.
