The Continental Local Board of Education is looking to fill a board member vacancy due to only
two candidates that ran in the fall election for three open board positions.
In addition to this vacancy, we have a second vacancy that recently occurred. A sitting board
member is resigning effective December 31, 2021. This resignation is due to a conflict of interest
with another elected position held by the board member.
The appointment process includes a review of submitted applications, voter registration
verification, and confirmation of district residency. The Continental board of education will begin
reviewing applications for replacements at the December 21, 2021 board meeting. However, the
application deadline is January 10, 2022 at 4pm. A final decision of the two replacement board
members will be decided and voted on at the organizational meeting on January 11, 2022.
Newly appointed members will serve from January 11, 2022 until December 31, 2023. If the
appointed members desire to continue serving, he or she must run in the general election in
November of 2023.
Those interested in serving on the Continental Board of Education should contact Treasurer
Katelyn Adams, (419-596-3671) who will forward and collect all applications of any interested
candidates.
According to Ohio law, people serving on Ohio school boards must be at least 18 years old, district
residents and registered voters.
