Trustee Jim Facer resigns; board opens application period and sets June 23 deadline
Summary
Trustee Jim Facer (Zone 3) tendered his resignation effective June 8; the Pocatello/Chubbuck board accepted it and began the process to fill the vacancy, opening applications immediately and setting a deadline of Tuesday, June 23, with interviews to follow.
The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District No. 25 Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of Trustee Jim Facer (Zone Number 3), effective June 8, and voted to open applications immediately to fill the vacancy.
Facer said he timed his resignation so the board could publicize the vacancy and have applicants ready for consideration at the June meetings. "Part of the reason that I wanted to declare my resignation now and make it effective June 8 is so that you could get the word out so that the seat's gonna be vacant," Facer said.
The board approved a timeline to accept resumes and letters of interest immediately and set the application deadline for Tuesday, June 23. Members discussed interview dates and agreed to offer two interview session windows to accommodate applicants; they also noted the procedural option that if the board cannot appoint a candidate within the statutory timeline, the appointment process moves to the county commissioners.
The board will announce the vacancy immediately, accept applications through the June 23 deadline, hold interviews as scheduled in late June and, if a candidate is selected, seat the appointed trustee at a subsequent meeting per statutory requirements.
