Five vie to fill vacancy on Lake Tahoe Unified School Board
Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/07/2015 - 12:37am
The Lake Tahoe Unified School Board has been without their fifth board member this year, ever since the resignation of Sue Novasel, who is the new County Supervisor. The district has been gathering applications from interested residents from Trustee Area #1 over the past month and five candidates are now up for the position.
John Drum, a firefighter/paramedic; Adam Jones, a chief operating officer; Kyle Martinez, a guest services night auditor (and former LTUSD student from kindergarten to 12th grade); Jennifer Peterson, a self-employed attorney; and Madelyn Rios, an adjunct instructor with LTCC all wish to take the open spot.
During Tuesday's board meeting, each candidate will be asked the same ten questions during a twenty-minute interview in open session. The Board will deliberate in public and make their selection by vote.
All school board members earn $20 remuneration per meeting and school district benefits. The successful candidate will be sworn into office at the March 10th regular board meeting.
