Travis School District trustees should appoint a person to fill the vacant board seat left by the resignation of Dawn Kirby, who stepped down May 20 because of a military move that sent her husband John Kirby to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.
The appointment is recommended by the school district staff in a timeline that includes a July 25 deadline for applicants and an Aug. 5 interview of candidates at a public meeting, where Kirby’s successor would be named.
It’s estimated that holding an election, rather than appointing Kirby’s successor, would cost $40,000.
