Board appoints London Meservi to fill trustee vacancy
Summary
After hearing from four applicants, the Missoula school board unanimously appointed London Meservi to fill a trustee vacancy. The appointee must complete paperwork and be sworn in at the business office before participating in votes.
The board received statements from four candidates seeking appointment to an open trustee seat: Jesse King, London Meservi, Sherry O'Lee and Evan Rosenberg. Each candidate described their connection to public education, relevant experience and interest in serving for the interim period prior to the next election.
Trustee Walsh nominated London Meservi; other trustees offered brief endorsements emphasizing community-building, collaboration and the potential for electoral longevity. The board voted unanimously to appoint London Meservi. The chair announced the appointee must appear at the business office on Friday the 16th between 1 and 3 p.m. to complete paperwork and be sworn in; until sworn, the appointee may not participate in votes.
Trustees noted the appointment is a short-term vacancy appointment ahead of the regular electoral process and encouraged Meservi to stand for the spring election, where voters will decide the longer-term representative.
No objections were raised during the public-record discussion; several trustees commented on the strength of the candidate pool.
