State Board to fill vacant trustee positions

Idaho State Board of Education Executive Director Matt Freeman issued the following statement in response to today’s announced resignations of two North Idaho College Trustees:

“Idaho Code provides that the State Board of Education shall fill vacancies if there are two or fewer trustees remaining on a community college board. The State Board will soon release an announcement seeking applications from residents of each of the soon-to be vacant community college trustee zones at North Idaho College.

The Board will look to the process used to create the inaugural Board of Trustees at the College of Eastern Idaho in 2017.

In that search, an ad-hoc committee comprised of three Board members, evaluated candidates and made recommendations to the full Board who then approved appointments for each trustee zone.

The appointed trustees will serve until the next trustee election in November.”

Freeman’s statement follows a letter given to the college today detailing that board members Christie Wood and Ken Howard will resign from the NIC Board effective May 3, 2022.
