The Jeffco School board voted Tuesday night to appoint Rick Rush, a former school board member, to fill a vacant position.
The board interviewed eight applicants, and ultimately favored Rush’s past experience on the board and his priorities, which board members said align with what the current board wants to work on. The vote was unanimous.
“He could hit the ground running at a time when we all know there is just so much and it’s all important,” said Susan Harmon, the board’s president. “We are jumping into budget discussions tomorrow. I can’t overlook that.”
