The St Joe School Board is scheduled to hear from five candidates interested in an open seat on the board.

A special meeting is scheduled at 5pm at the Troester Media Center at 3401 Renick Street.

Earlier this week the board narrowed the list of candidates from 16 to five. The finalists are Jeff Bird, Matthew Brock, Eric Bruder, Karen Hauser and Mike Veale. (Read more here)

The board will interview the five finalists to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of former board member Dan Colgan.

The board hopes to swear in the new board member next week.
