The Vacaville Unified School District’s seventh and newest trustee was selected at Thursday night’s meeting.

Retired Vacaville Fire Department Deputy Chief John Jansen was selected.

Last week, the Vacaville Teachers Association, after interviewing nine of the 11 applicants, endorsed Jansen.

He also is a small-business owner and adjunct instructor at Solano Community College.

Open session began at 6 p.m., not the customary 7 p.m. time, in the Educational Services Center, 401 Nut Tree Road, to accommodate this appointment process.
