School district seeking new director

Blaine school board is asking residents, who live in district 1 and are interested filling the district’s vacant seat, to send in a letter of interest.

At last month’s board meeting, the board formally accepted board member Todd Nunamaker’s resignation. It is now accepting letters of interest from residents who live in the district 1 boundaries, which include Point Roberts and western parts of downtown, are a U.S. citizen and registered voter. Letters will be accepted until Friday, December 9, according to a November 14 news release.

The board will start interviewing candidates in January. The appointed director will serve until the next election in November 2023.

Letters should be addressed to the Board of Directors and submitted either by email at comments@blainesd.org or mailed to Blaine school district at 765 H Street, Blaine WA 98230. They should describe the candidate’s interest in serving on the board, including prior experience, qualifying factors and goals as a potential board member.
