What happened

On June 9, 2026 the board accepted the resignation of member Mike Calahan and declared a vacancy. Residents were invited to apply. On June 29 the four remaining members voted 4-0 to appoint Karen Kay to the seat.

Why it matters to families

The five-member board sets the budget and hires the superintendent. An appointed member, not an elected one, now helps make those choices.

The evidence

The June 29 minutes record the 4-0 vote; the June 9 recording shows the acceptance of the resignation.
