The St. Joseph School Board of Education has narrowed the list of candidates to fill the vacancy on the board down to five.
Eric Bruder, Matthew Brock, Jeff Bird, Mike Veale and Karen Hauser are still in the running to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dr. Dan Colgan.
The term for the vacancy is set to end April 11, 2016.
“I want to thank everyone who threw their hat in to be the board candidate,” said Brad Haggard, Board President. “We truley appreciate all the time you’ve spent preparing just to get to this point.”
The board originally had a list of 19 candidates to choose from. Three candidates pulled their names from the running prior to Tuesday’s board meeting.
During the meeting each candidate had three minutes to address the board. Candidates presented in the order of when the district received each individual’s letter of intent.
A special meeting is scheduled for Friday April 10, at 5 p.m. at Troester Media Center located at 3401 Renick St. The board is expected to appoint the new board member from the final five candidates at that time.
