One out of four applicants is set to be appointed to a vacant trustee seat at the Benicia School Board on Thursday night.

Four people have applied for the position since the application period opened at the beginning of the month. It closed on Friday.

The seat was left open due to the sudden death of Rose Switzer in late November.

Those who have applied are Stacy Holguin, Ira Glick, Karina Guerrero and William Lawrence, district officials said. In December, the board chose to appoint a trustee instead of holding a special election to fill the position.
