Board votes to fill vacant at‑large seat by appointment, sets application timeline
Summary
The board decided to fill a recently vacated at‑large seat by appointment, directed staff to advertise the vacancy and outlined a timeline for applications and interviews.
The Mosinee School District Board of Education voted to fill a vacant at‑large board seat by appointment and directed staff to advertise for applicants and return with candidate materials for interview.
Administration explained the process options and recommended advertising via social media and local paper, accepting letters of interest, and interviewing applicants in open session. Greg, an administrator, explained the statutory timeline and noted the board has 60 days to fill a vacancy: “Right. So I mean, it’s 60 days. Yeah. 60 days,” he said.
The board discussed options for timeline and logistics; Greg suggested closing applications around June 11 and interviewing candidates at the June 17 regular meeting so a selected appointee could be sworn in that night if the board desired. The board was told the seat carries roughly one year remaining in the term, and an appointee would have to run at the next election if they wished to continue.
Board member Donna Kaiser moved to fill the seat by appointment; Glenda Zebra seconded. The motion carried. The board directed administration to post the vacancy, accept letters of interest, develop interview questions and return candidate information in the next board packet.
