The seat was vacated January 11th with the resignation of Kate Glinsmann due to personal health concerns. Anyone wishing to fill the position should file an affidavit of candidacy and nomination petition with the school district’s business manager Jeff Dieleman tentatively by February 23rd. The petition requires 50 signatures. The special election will be held March 20th.
