The Camas School District Board of Directors is seeking applicants to fill the District 1 and District 2 positions on the board.
The seats became vacant when former board president Julie Rotz and board vice president Casey O’Dell resigned from their positions during a regular board meeting on Monday, Feb. 12.
Rotz, who served eight years on the board, and O’Dell, who served 17 years, had a tearful goodbye at their last meeting, and cited new job opportunities as their reasons for leaving.
Although the two are no longer on the board, they have some advice for the people who are thinking about applying: come with an open mind.
Rotz, who relocated to Florida with her family, said that going into a school board position without an agenda is a healthy look and will also allow members to have a more open mind and a better impact on helping the whole.
