Citizens Express Interest in School Board Position

October 16, 2000 - The Renton School Board of Directors has received four letters of interest from citizens interested in serving as the board member from Director District No. 2. The individuals are Al Talley, Ken Curl, Rob Barrans, and Betty Price. Another individual had expressed interest in the position, but was ineligible due to residency outside the Director District No. 2 boundaries.

The Director District No. 2 position, held by former Board President Scott Kaseburg, became vacant due to a move outside of school district boundaries. Director District No. 2 represents the areas of Maplewood, Hazen and parts of the Highlands in East Renton.

Letters of interest from applicants were due October 6. Each eligible candidate was sent a request for biographical information and a set of written questions. These items must be received in the Superintendent's Office by October 20. All applicants who meet the deadline will be interviewed in a special public board meeting slated for Wednesday, November 1, 6 pm at the Kohlwes Education Center (300 SW 7th Street.)

"We encourage all interested citizens to attend," commented Superintendent Dr. Dolores Gibbons. "Board members are a critical link between the community and the school district and help to shape district policy and direction."

Following the public interview of candidates, the board members will adjourn to executive session to select the new board member. The Director District No. 2 member will be inducted to the board at its regularly scheduled November 15 meeting.
