Mentor School Board Discusses Replacing Jamie Callender

The Mentor Schools Board of Education is looking for a replacement to fill Jamie Callender's spot on the Board of Trustees.

Applicants must submit a letter of interest  by July 13, which should include the person's:

• Place of residence

This committee will recommend one person to the board of education for appointment. The board will appoint a trustee no later than August 11.

Library trustees are appointed to terms for seven years and there are four years remaining on Callender's term, which ends Dec. 31, 2015. The term would begin for the new trustee upon appointment.
