School board candidates face off in crucial selection process

During a recent meeting of the DC Everest School Board, President Lindsay Lewitsky and fellow board members convened to interview candidates for an open board position. The meeting aimed to foster a personal connection with each candidate, as they seek to fill the vacancy until April 2025.

The board emphasized the importance of selecting an individual dedicated to the welfare of all students, staff, and the broader community. Each candidate was allotted 15 minutes for their interview, during which they were asked a series of standardized questions to ensure a fair evaluation process.

One of the candidates, Amy Ebeling, introduced herself as a mother of three boys, each with distinct academic needs. Ebeling highlighted her experiences navigating the educational landscape, which she believes provides her with a valuable perspective on the challenges faced by families within the district.

The board's commitment to community engagement and the selection process reflects their ongoing efforts to enhance educational governance and support for diverse student needs. The interviews are a critical step in ensuring that the new board member aligns with the district's mission and values.
