The new board member will be selected this Thursday.
On Jan. 6, 2014 the Everett Public Schools Board of Directors reviewed the applications of seven district residents who applied to be considered for appointment to fill the board member seat vacated by Jeff Russell who resigned on Dec. 1, 2013.
As per board policy, the board chose five of the seven candidates to interview on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014 beginning at 3 p.m. in the Board Room of the Community Resource Center at 3900 Broadway in Everett.
The candidates selected for interview are:
