The Elk Grove Unified School District board on Dec. 15 voted 4-2 to fill a vacant seat on their board by inviting community members to apply for the position. They chose this plan instead of holding a special election next November.  Â
Bobbie Singh-Allen vacated the Trustee Area 4 seat after she became mayor of Elk Grove on Dec. 9.
The school district now seeks applicants who live within that area, which covers the Laguna region west of Bruceville Road as well as Elk Groveâs Stonelake, Laguna West, and Lakeside neighborhoods. Trustee Area 4 also includes the Franklin community south of Elk Grove.
Applications are due by Jan. 14 and the school board plans to interview applicants and make their choice on Jan. 26. The selected applicant will then serve the remainder of the Trustee Area 4 positionâs term that expires in November 2022.
About 85 people gathered at an outdoor ceremony on Dec. 5 to celebrate the dedication and opening of the 1853 Foulks House as a museum that honors one of Elk Groveâs earliest families.
This small, two-story structure, which formerly stood on Elk Grove Boulevard near Bruceville Road, was home to six generations of Foulks family members.
Moved to the Elk Grove Historical Societyâs Heritage Park in Elk Grove Regional Park in 2005, the building underwent a more than $100,000 restoration, which was completed this year.
Built like a barn with no studs or sheer walls to keep it square, this historic house is one of the last remaining early California, single-frame homes.
