Board members conducted interviews with the candidates during closed sessions earlier this week.
A seat on the board became open after the Dec. 6 death of Bill Spahr, who had been a member of the board for 27 years.
Spahr’s unexpired term ends next year. School board members are eligible to receive the district’s healthcare benefits and receive $125 as compensation for each meeting they attend. Compensation is also set aside for training sessions.
