Lyle School Board Director Lisa Bren announced her resignation, effectively immediately, at the July 28 regular school board meeting. The board announced its intention to seek a replacement immediately.

Ms. Bren had filed to run for the seat, to which she was appointed last October.  However, due to a subsequent change of employment in her family, she is now moving from the area. State law calls for the board to appoint a replacement to serve for the remainder of this term, which runs through December of 2021. They will then again appoint an applicant to fill the first two years of the next regular four-year term.  The seat will again be open for election at the time of the next general election in 2023; the winner of that election will fill the remainder of the four-year term.

Per board policy and procedure 1114, all citizens are invited to apply or nominate candidates for the position. Applicants must be registered voters who reside anywhere within the Lyle School District limits; this is one of two at-large positions on the board.  When a nomination is received, the district will reach out and invite the nominee to apply.

The application form is available here.

Please submit your application by August 18, 2021. You can return via email to deb.stenberg@lyleschools.org or mail it to Lyle School Board of Directors, PO Box 368, Lyle WA  98635.

The board will interview the first round of applicants/nominees at the next regularly scheduled board meeting, Wednesday, August 25, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. in the school’s library at 625 Keasey Avenue, Lyle. The school board is currently meeting in person, with a Zoom component for those who aren't able to personally attend.

Please go to the school district website, www.lyleschools.org, for more information and a nomination/application form.
