Nearby: Rochester, MNROCHESTER — Who will replace Karen MacLaughlin on the Rochester School Board following her election Tuesday night to the position of Olmsted County Attorney? According to Minnesota law, a special election is not required to fill a school board vacancy if it occurs less than two years prior to the expiration of the term. MacLaughlin is mid-way through her term on the board, which will last until 2028. That means the decision will fall to the board to nominate a replacement for the remainder of her term. RPS School Board Chairwoman Cathy Nathan said that she has not yet received a formal resignation letter from MacLaughlin, but that there are a couple options for how the board could appoint a replacement board member once she does. The first would be to have a simple nomination process, during which members of the board would nominate someone to fill the position followed by a vote on the nomination.
