The Moraga School District is currently accepting applications for an appointment on its governing board. The five-member board lost member Parker Colvin at the end of 2015, as the Moraga father and his family are leaving the town to pursue other adventures. The board decided to appoint a new volunteer by interviewing applicants, rather than call for an election. The person that will be chosen will sit on the school board for approximately one year, starting Jan. 26. Elections for school board members will be held in November as part of the general 2016 ballot and the new appointee will have the opportunity to decide whether to run or not at that time. An informational meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Jan. 12 at the Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School library for applicants who are interested in learning more about the appointment process and the roles and responsibilities of governing board members, according to the school district. Applicants are welcome to contact governing board members and the superintendent about the process, commitment, and responsibilities of board members. Applications need to be filed before noon on Jan. 19. Documents are available online on the Moraga School District's website at www.moraga.k12.ca.us/.
