With the recent resignation of Kristyn Econome from the Board of Education, the Cañon City School District is seeking persons interested in filling her seat for the remainder of her term, through November 2019.
Colorado law (C.R.S. 22-31-129) says a board of education has 60 days to appoint a qualified person to fill such a vacancy.
To be considered to fill Ms. Econome’s seat, a person must be a registered voter residing within school district boundaries for at least 12 months prior to taking office and never have been convicted of a sexual offense against a child.
The Cañon City School District asks interested persons to submit a letter of introduction to the district office by 4 PM Friday, September 7th, 2018.
The four remaining Board Directors will conduct interviews on Tuesday, September 18th and Wednesday, September 19th from 4 PM to 6 PM with the goal of appointing a replacement on Monday, September 24th.
If a majority of the Board can not agree on a single candidate within a 60-day time frame state law allows the board president, in this case Mr. Larry Oddo, to make the appointment.
