School Board Vacancy

The Lincoln County School District Board of Directors declared Zone 1 vacant during a special session on August 24 after accepting the resignation of Mitch Parsons. The board is now accepting applications from those interested in serving as an interim board member from the

time of appointment through June 30, 2027.

Parsons submitted his resignation to the board on August 12th citing that he is unable to commit the time and energy necessary to serve the community to the standard it deserves.

The board will hold a special session to interview candidates on October 13 and then will vote on and swear in the interim board member at that same meeting. Interested applicants must be residents of Zone 1 (Precincts 20 Delake; 21 Oceanlake; 22, Sunset West; 23

Sunset East; 24 Rose Lodge), a qualified voter in Lincoln County, not an employee of the school district, and participate in the interview and selection process.

An application can be found on the district’s website at www.lincoln.k12.or.us/page/board-of-directors and can be submitted in person or electronically to Board Secretary, Eddie Symington (eddie.symington@lincoln.k12.or.us).
