During a special meeting on Thursday the St. Joseph School Board held a special meeting to begin the process of selecting its next board member.&nbsp;

A seat on the board was left open after the resignation of Lori Witham.&nbsp;

The list of 10 residents that expressed interest in running for the board seat was narrowed down to five after a majority of the board voted to narrow the field.&nbsp;

Don Crabtree, David Jordan, David Mason, Tom Richmond, and Phil Vandel will be interviewed in-person by the board on Monday starting at 2pm. &nbsp;

Each candidate will have 15 minutes to make a statement and address questions asked by the Board members. The Board will make its final selection following all the interviews and a swearing-in ceremony will take place that afternoon. &nbsp;

The individual selected will serve until the end of the term in April 2023. They will participate in their first Board meeting on May 23.&nbsp;

The meeting is open to the public and will be live streamed on the district’s YouTube channel&nbsp;
