The Contra Costa County Board of Education voted at its Oct. 7 meeting to fill the Board vacancy in Trustee Area Two created by the resignation of Dr. David Krapf through an appointment rather than an election. Trustee Area Two consists of Clyde, Crockett, Hercules, Martinez, Pacheco, Port Costa, Rodeo, and parts of Bay Point, Concord, Kensington, Lafayette, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, and Richmond.
The California State Education Code states that within 60 days of a vacancy, the County Board shall either fill the vacancy by provisional appointment or order an election. In the event that the Board fails to make a new appointment or order an election, the County Superintendent shall call for the election.
Persons interested in applying for the appointment should contact Michael Bowers, Associate Superintendent/Human Resources at (925) 942-3407 for an application packet. (Employees of the Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools or by a school district are not eligible to apply.) Provisional Appointment
The period for submitting an application is from Oct. 9 through 5 p.m. on Nov. 9. Each applicant's residency in Trustee Area Two will be verified. Public session interviews by the County Board will be scheduled for Nov. 18.
The County Board plans to make its provisional appointment on Nov. 18. The person appointed as Trustee will serve until November 2010.
