Seven applicants will vie for an open position on the Coupeville School Board.
Interviews will be held across two meetings, with the first five going at a Dec. 8 workshop meeting, and two more conducted a week later at the board’s regular monthly meeting on Dec. 15.
The process will select someone to replace Glenda Merwine, who cited health concerns when she resigned with a year left on her current term.
Her position, a Director At-Large one which can be filled by anyone living within school district boundaries, is up for election in 2023.
The applicants scheduled to be interviewed Dec. 8 are:
Mark Conway Valencia
David Ford
Jennifer Marzocca
Chic Merwine
Gregory Thomas
The remaining two applicants have not been publicly named. That information will be included when the agenda for the Dec. 15 meeting is released.

I would like to know who votes for the replacement person? Just the present school board?
My understanding is the current four board members and the Superintendent.
