The Lincoln County School District is seeking to fill a board vacancy created by the resignation of Mike Rawles of Newport, who is moving out of the district.
Rawles was elected in May 2021 to the seat representing Zone 3 on the board, which comprises much of the Newport area.
The board is accepting applications from people interested in serving as an interim member through June 30, 2025. The next school board election is May 2025.
Applications are due by 4 p.m. July 15. The board will hold a special session July 23 to interview candidates and then will vote on and swear in the interim board member at its regular meeting Aug. 13. Applicants must be residents of Zone 3, be a qualified voter in Lincoln County, not a district employee, and participate in the interview and selection process.
Applications are on the district’s website and can be submitted in person or electronically to board secretary Eddie Symington at eddie.symington@lincoln.k12.or.us.
