The Columbia Board of Education will appoint a new member this month after Paul Cushing’s resignation.
Board President Tom Rose says it will not hold an election for the position – it’ll accept applicants instead.
"We'll interview the candidates on October 30 at an evening meeting that is open for anyone to attend. We essentially develop a list of questions that we have that they are able to prepare and we'll have each of them answer," says Rose.
The four current applicants are Rex Cone, Tim Parshall, Bill Kinney, and former board member Darin Preis.
