A trio of West Bonner school board meetings were canceled Tuesday morning when Zone 3 trustee Troy Reinbold advised he would be unable to attend.
Reinhold's absence, attributed to an unspecified family emergency, caused the cancellation of two special meetings set to interview candidates for two open board seats set for Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 18. The Zone 3 trustee's absence also caused the cancellation of the board's regularly scheduled meeting for October, set for Wednesday, Oct. 18.
The West Bonner County School District has announced the names of five candidates seeking to fill trustee seats in Zone 2 and Zone 4.
In Zone 2, Bradley Cossette, Paul Turco, and Donald Paden submitted applications seeking the seat. In Zone 4, Ann Yount and Wendy Eaton have submitted their names for consideration
