Board opens application period to fill Zone 2 vacancy; interviews set for August
Summary
Following a board member’s departure, the Newberg SD 29J board opened applications for the Zone 2 vacancy, will observe a 20‑day public notice period and expects interviews and a selection process at its first August meeting.
The Newberg SD 29J Board of Directors announced on June 23 that it has opened the application process to fill a vacant Zone 2 board seat after Deb Bridges' departure.
The board noted its bylaws require a 20‑day public notice before appointments; with that timeline, interviews and any selection are expected at the board’s first August meeting rather than the July meeting. The chair said the personnel committee will screen applicants and recommend next steps.
Board members encouraged Zone 2 residents to apply. The board discussed logistics — publicity channels, highlighting zone maps online and assigning the personnel committee to perform initial reviews. One member recommended keeping the process open to ensure a diverse applicant pool and described the typical nomination and voting steps used to confirm new members.
No appointment was made at the June meeting; the board said it will report back after the July meeting with committee assignments and timeline details.
