Public Invited to Discuss Board of Education Vacancy
The Guilford County Board of Education will hold a public forum to discuss the vacancy in District 1 at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at Andrews High School. Board members hope to learn what skills, background and experience the public feels are most important in a new District 1 Board member.
That seat is currently held by Board Member Carlvena Foster, who won election to the Guilford County Board of Commissioners District 1 seat on Nov. 4. The Board of Education seat will be open effective Dec. 1; the newly selected District 1 Board member will serve the remainder of Foster’s term, which expires in Dec. 2016.
Guilford County parents, staff, students and members of the community can also talk about it online with EngageGCS. That’s a new website that provides a place to communicate and collaborate with educational leaders and other residents on the future of education in Guilford County.
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 1. The Board will hold specially called meetings on Dec. 8 and 10 to interview nominees and select the new District 1 Board member, who will be sworn in at the Dec. 18 Board of Education meeting.
