Members of the White River School Board are looking for someone to join their ranks.

A board vacancy exists due to the death of Susan McGuire, a longtime district board member, volunteer and school advocate. She had served on the school board since 1996.

Directors now will appoint a person to complete two years of her four-year term on the board. She filled the Position No. 2 seat.

The application period will begin Aug. 1 and conclude on Aug. 30. A review of applications and candidate interviews will be conducted by the four remaining board members on Sept. 5. The board hopes to select a candidate and have that person take the oath of office during the Sept. 11 board meeting.

Applicants must live within the Position No. 2 boundaries. A district map and application form is available by contacting the school district.

All applications should be submitted to Denise Vogel, chairwoman of the board of directors, at the district administration office by 4:30 p.m. Aug. 31.
