Per today's Daily Journal article
Seven have applied to fill the vacancy on the San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees created by the May election of Dave Pine to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
Applications turned in this week resulted in seven contenders: Rhonda Collins, Marc Friedman, Elizabeth Frykberg, Jose Gonzalez, Michael Loy, Robert Mason and Charles Zelnik. The board will hold a special meeting Thursday, July 14 to interview applicants and appoint a new trustee.
Pine’s four-year term was scheduled to end this November. Rather than hold a special election, the appointed person will fill the position for the remainder of the term, Superintendent Scott Laurence said previously.
Special elections are expensive so this seems like good stewardship from a financial perspective. Then the person will have to defend the seat in four months.
