LCSD#2 Board accepting applications to fill seat; new board members sworn in

The LCSD#2 Board of Trustees held their regularly scheduled meeting on Wednesday, November 11. Trustee Jake Long submitted his resignation from his position on the board after serving two years. Long was elected to the Lincoln County Commission and will focus his efforts there. The move will require the board to appoint a person to fulfill the remaining two years of Long’s At-Large seat. Chairman Darnell Simpson noted in the meeting that the application process will open Thursday morning November 12, and run through November 19 at 4 p.m. This is an at large position, meaning anyone in the district can apply. The board will select finalists from the applications and they will be interviewed on November 30. The trustee appointed will need to run in the 2028 General Election if they wish to remain on the board. Superintendent Matt Erickson noted that due to state law, a new board member must be appointed within 30 days of the resignation.
