Woodland Public Schools has extended the deadline for applications for an interim position on its board of directors.
Those looking to fill a vacancy on the board’s District 5 seat have until 4 p.m. Feb. 3 to have their applications into the district office, the district announced last week. The interim position is a replacement for the seat formerly occupied by board member Steven Madsen, who resigned in November, and the chosen applicant will serve until the 2021 November general election, according to the district announcement.
Applicants need to have U.S. citizenship and be registered to vote within the director district boundaries, the announcement stated, which comprises a large geographic area on the easternmost side of WPS. The announcement stated the western boundary line followed powerlines between Little Kalama Road and Fredrickson Road to the top of Davis Peak, then along Little Kalama River Road to the northern border of the school district.
Those interested in the position will need to complete a short application form and a letter of interest detailing relevant background experience, skills and values an applicant would bring to the board, the announcement stated.
Applications will be accepted at the Woodland Public Schools District Office, 800 2nd St., Woodland, the announcement stated. According to the application those seeking the seat will be interviewed by the full school board Feb. 5, with the appointee selected following the interviews in time to be sworn in for the Feb. 10 meeting.
“Serving on the school board offers the unique opportunity to help shape the futures of our community’s children by providing substantive direction to the future of our community’s schools,” Superintendent Michael Green stated in the announcement. “We encourage interested, qualified citizens to apply and be considered for this rewarding role.”
