The Board of Education conducted three (3) interviews to fill the vacant board seat left open from board member Jeff Emerson’s resignation at the November 4 Board meeting. Before the interviews Dr. Bugg asked if the Board wanted to make changes to the interview questions. He also encouraged the Board to take notes during the interview process, and to keep their notes to hand in to President Miller for record keeping purposes. The candidates interviewed were Steve Rodgers, Daniel Englehardt, and Adam Brncich. Each candidate was scheduled for thirty (30) minutes with the Board, and was given the opportunity to ask questions at the end. President Miller asked the same interview questions to each candidate for consistency, and the other members of the board were given the opportunity to ask any additional or follow up questions for clarity. Each candidate was asked of their intent to file petitions for the April election if they were selected; they all answered yes. At the end of each interview, Dr. Bugg informed the candidates that the person selected will hold the seat until the April elections.
