Three new school board members will be sworn in at Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting.
Elizabeth Siddon, Paul Kelly and Kevin Allen ran unopposed for three open seats on the board in last week’s municipal election.
They will replace board members Josh Keaton, Emil Mackey and Andi Story.
Story is running for state House District 34 in the November general election.
The new board members will jump right in by electing officers and hearing a presentation on the district budget.
The district budgeted for 4,625 students this school year, not including preschool. A final count will be made at the end of October.
District-wide enrollment determines how much money the state gives the district each school year.
Enrollment has declined for the most in recent years, though last year saw a small boost in intensive needs students.
That helped cover funding gaps left by lower-than-projected enrollment numbers.
The board will also discuss forming a superintendent search committee.
In August, it appointed Director of Student Services Bridget Weiss to serve as the interim superintendent through next June. The board selected her shortly after Superintendent Mark Miller announced his resignation.
The goal is to hire a permanent replacement by next July. That could end up being Weiss, or another candidate depending on what the search committee decides.
