MANAGING EDITOR AND CORRESPONDENT
The King George County School Board is seeking letters of interest from residents of the James Monroe election district who are interested in filling the seat vacated by Matthew Roles.
Roles announced his resignation earlier this month and it was effective September 16. His replacement will serve the remainder of his four-year term, through December of 2025.
Virginia Code allows School Board members to appoint an individual to fill a vacancy created by a resignation within 45 days of the occurrence of the vacancy.
The School Board invites qualified candidates, who are registered to vote and live in the James Monroe district, to submit a 300-word letter of interest and a resume by Wednesday, October 2, at noon.
Applications can be emailed to the School Board clerk, Erin Scalph, at escalph@kgcs.k12.va.us or by mail to her attention at P.O. Box 1239, King George, VA, 22485.
Eligible candidates will have up to 10 minutes to speak at the October 7 School Board meeting about their qualifications and why they want to serve.
Interviews with each candidate may follow, according to a press release from the school division.
