The St. Joseph School Board of Education will hear from each candidate in the running for the board vacancy in a special meeting scheduled for Tuesday night.

The list of candidates who have submitted letters of intent to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dr. Dan Colgan has dropped from 19 to 16 with Paul Vonfischbach, Mary Jo Burger, and Diana Slawson withdrawing from the running.

That still leaves a list of 16 for the board to choose from.
