Three Rivers Community School District is seeking applications for the current vacant position on the Board of Education. As required by Election Code MCL 168.311, a school board has 30 days to fill a vacant position. An individual will be appointed to fill the vacant position until the November 2020 elections have been held and certified and a newly elected individual has been sworn-in to fill the remainder of this position's term.
Any registered voter who resides within the Three Rivers Community School District is eligible to apply. An applicant must be at least 18 years of age, a citizen of the United States; a resident of the state of Michigan for at least 30 days and a resident of the school district. The Michigan Election law, MCL 168.11, defines the term “residence” as:“A place at which a person habitually sleeps,keeps his or her personal effects, and has a regular place of lodging. If a person had more than one residence, or if a wife has a residence separate from that of the husband, that place at which the person resides the greater part of the time shall be his or her official residence for the purposes of this Act.” Thus, even though a candidate may still be a registered voter in a school district and the candidate’s drivers’ license includes a school district address, he or she could still fail to satisfy this definition.
Interested persons must submit a letter expressing interest in the board position and their qualifications for the position to the district office no later than 3:00 PM on October 16, 2019.
Following a review of the submitted materials, the board will schedule interviews with selected candidates.
