She will fill the position until this fall, when the school board will hold a special election.
Osakis School Board appoints member to open seat
Genny LeBrun, although she didn t refile, will fill the seat open after the death of Chris George. 9:31 pm, Dec. 21, 2020 ×
It was a discussion members of the Osakis School Board didn’t want to have – deciding what to do with an open seat following the death of school board member Chris George.
An Osakis native, George, 49, passed away Saturday, Dec. 5, after a heart attack.
At a special school board meeting Monday, Dec. 21, Superintendent Randy Bergquist told school board members, “I know this isn’t easy for anyone to talk about.”
And it wasn’t. But after a short discussion, school board member Greg Faber made a motion to have Genny LeBrun fill the open position. LeBrun currently sits on the school board, but would have been done come January as she did not refile for her position.
