The final two applicants for an open position on the Coupeville School Board have been made public, with the release of the agenda for the Dec. 15 meeting.
Alison Perera and Ward Sparacio will be interviewed by board members that night, coming on the heels of five applicants having finished the process at Thursday’s workshop meeting.
The board interviewed Mark Conway Valencia, David Ford, Chic Merwine, Gregory Thomas, and Jennifer Marzocca.
While the identity of those five was made public before the Dec. 8 meeting, district officials declined to reveal the other two names at the same time.
After the board completes its final two interviews, it will go into executive session to evaluate the candidates, before returning to publicly vote.
The person chosen replaces Glenda Merwine, who resigned due to health concerns. The position goes up for election in 2023.
Of the seven candidates, none have previously served on the Coupeville School Board.
Sparacio ran for a different open position in 2021, losing that race to current board member Morgan White.
