Board schedules June 1 special meeting to fill vacancy; appoints three student reps

The Crosby‑Ironton Public School District board scheduled a special meeting for Monday, June 1 at 7:00 p.m. in the forum room to review application materials and appoint a candidate to its open seat. The board said the appointment will be followed by a 30‑day appeal period; the selected candidate will be sworn in after that window.

Board members discussed whether application packets should include applicants’ names. Chair said packet materials provided to the board will have no names. Some trustees said they want access to names to help screen candidates; others argued that anonymized materials reduce bias. "The things that will be in your packet will have zero names on it," the chair said.

At the regular meeting the board moved to appoint three student school board representatives for 2026–27: Wyatt Holmes (senior), Belle Smith (junior) and Georgiana/Georgie Toughness (junior). The students were brought forward, took the oath of office and were welcomed as non‑voting advisers.
