The Summit School District Board of Education will interview three candidates for a vacant school board seat at its May 13 public meeting.
The school board will interview applicants Johanna Kugler, Phyllis Raynor and Lisa Webster. The district said in an April 26 memo to the school board that the three represent the only applicants qualified for the position due to the requirement to be a registered voter for at least one year within the district. Seven people applied.
In her letter of interest submitted to the board Kugler a Dillon Valley resident and mother of three Dillon Valley Elementary students said her experience and expertise in early-childhood education would benefit the board.
