FARMINGTON The Central Consolidated School District Board of Education has appointed a Hogback resident to fill the District 3 seat left vacant by Charlie Jones Jr. after he resigned last month.
Philip J. Kinlichee was appointed in a special meeting on March 8 that centered on presentations by candidates. Those were followed by question and answer sessions facilitated by Board President Gary Montoya, who explained the eight questions were derived by board members.
The vote to support Kinlichee s selection from the pool of three applicants was not unanimous with Board Vice President Suzette Haskie opposing.
CCSD spokesman Roberto Taboada said on March 9 that Superintendent Daniel Benavidez did not have any comment about the appointment.
