One of Two Open School Board Positions Remains Unfilled

by

The Dell Rapids School Board still has one position open on the board.  This announcement came during the board’s regular meeting on Monday, May 10th.

Two school board members will have their terms come to an end this summer.  Those members are Troy Randall and Jacque LeBrun.  Business Manager Barb Littel reported that only one petition was returned for those two school board vacancies.  The one petition was filed by Randall.  He will be sworn in for another three-year term at the July meeting.

That still leaves one school board position open.  The board will have to make a one-year appointment for the vacancy.  Information about how to apply for the appointment will be posted to the schools website.
