Applications are now being accepted and will be reviewed as they are received. Qualified candidates will be interviewed and appointed by current Board of Education members as directed by ORS 341.335(3). The first interview session, for identified qualified candidates, will be offered at the October 18, 2022 Board meeting. The seat will remain open until filled, with screening scheduled to begin in early to mid-October.
The period of service of an interim Board member appointed under ORS 341.335 begins upon appointment and expires on June 30 following the next regular district election, currently set for May 2023.
