GCSC seeks board applicants
City residents interested in serving on the Greencastle School Board are encouraged to do so by July 1.
The board is seeking someone to fill out the last three years of a position appointed by the Greencastle City Council.
While the call for applicants was announced several weeks ago, board president Mike White reports that applications are slow coming in and the board would like to cast as wide of a net as possible.
Because it is a city council appointment, applicants must reside within Greencastle city limits. They must also be at least 21 years old
The resignation of current board member Lisa McCoy will take effect June 30, giving her fellow board members until July 30 to choose her replacement, who will serve through June 30, 2022.
Although it is the city’s appointment, by state statute it is the school board’s responsibility to fill a vacancy in the middle of a term.
In order to have the city in on the process, though, some members of the council have been invited to the meeting at which interviews will be conducted, scheduled for Monday, July 8 at Greencastle Central Office.
These proceedings will be open to the public. More details will be announced once applications are received.
Interested applicants should mail their letters of interest and resumés to Greencastle Schools Central Office, C/O President Mike White, 1002 Mill Pond Lane, Greencastle, IN 46135.
Any interested and qualified city residents are encouraged to apply.
