Because the name of only one candidate appeared on the November general election ballot in a contest for two seats, the Hopkins Board of Education is seeking someone to be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Incumbent Karen Ryan was re-elected handily to her seat with 2,985 votes Nov. 6, but the other incumbent, Mike Maule, decided against seeking another four-year term and no one stepped in the fill the void.
The board intends to interview candidates Jan. 21 and appoint a candidate that night.
Interested citizens should send a letter expressing their interest to Board Secretary John Myers, Hopkins Public Schools, 400 Clark St., Hopkins, MI 49328. The letter must be received in the superintendent’s office no later than 3 p.m. Monday, Jan. 7.
