Cascade SD 5 board appoints Patty Taylor to fill vacancy
Summary
The Cascade SD 5 board unanimously appointed Patty Taylor to the board after interviewing two applicants; Taylor will serve an 18-month term, board members said. The vote was 4–0.
Patty Taylor was appointed to the Cascade SD 5 board on April 13 after the board interviewed two candidates and voted unanimously to fill the vacancy.
Board members said they marked ballots to select between applicants and that all four voting members — the chair, Ruth, Harry and remote board member Spencer — chose Taylor. The chair announced, "So we've got 4 in favor of Patty Taylor." Board members earlier discussed making the selection by written ballot and agreed on a process in which each member wrote a name on a paper ballot and the remote member announced his choice.
Taylor will serve the remainder of the vacancy, described during the interview as an approximately 18‑month term. Board members praised both applicants as committed community members; during deliberations one member noted both candidates had the time available to serve.
The board signaled it would return at 7 p.m. for its regular session. No formal motion text was read into the public record during the work session beyond the announcement of the tally. Action: appointment of Patty Taylor — outcome: approved (tally reported 4 yes, 0 no).
