Belgrade board declares trustee vacancy, opens application window and schedules interviews
Summary
After receiving a resignation, the Belgrade board declared a trustee position vacant, authorized an application process with letters of interest due Aug. 26 and scheduled interviews for Sept. 2 at 6:00 p.m.; the board approved the plan unanimously.
The Belgrade School District Board of Trustees declared a trustee position vacant following a resignation and approved a plan to fill the seat by appointment.
Trustees voted to declare the vacancy and then authorized a two-week window for letters of interest (opening Aug. 12 and due Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m.). The board set interviews for nominated candidates on Sept. 2 at 6:00 p.m. and discussed statutory timelines — including a 60-day window for appointment to avoid a county-superintendent appointment if the board does not fill the seat.
Board members discussed logistics for submission (drop-off, email, fax, mail) and a short advertising period to ensure community members have the opportunity to apply. The motion to declare the vacancy and the follow-up schedule were both approved 7–0.
Next steps: the board will advertise the vacancy, accept letters of interest through Aug. 26 at 4:30 p.m., conduct interviews Sept. 2 at 6:00 p.m., and vote to appoint at the next regular meeting or an agreed special meeting.
