The Board of Trustees of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District is seeking written notification of interest from individuals who are eligible for and willing to fill one vacant seat on the Board of Trustees.
This is the seat to replace Linda Brewer, who was selected by the Halifax County Democratic Party to fill the unexpired term of the late Rachel Hux.
The seat will have a term ending December 2017.
A position on the Board requires a great deal of time. There are at least two monthly meetings, committee meetings, training sessions and attendance at some student activities.
In order to be eligible to fill a seat on the Board of Trustees an individual must be a registered voter and must reside in the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District.
(An application is available for download at the end of this notice)
Individuals may check with the Halifax County Board of Elections to determine their status as a registered voter. Individuals may check with the Superintendent of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District to determine the boundaries of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District. Note that the boundaries of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District are not the same as the Roanoke Rapids city limits.
Interested individuals should file a written and signed notification of interest, using a form which may be downloaded from the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District’s website at www.rrgsd.org or picked up from our administrative office at 536 Hamilton Street, Roanoke Rapids, N.C. The completed form should be submitted to Mr. Jay Carlisle, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, at the school system’s central administrative office, no later than 4:00 p.m. on November 18, 2016. The notification of interest must contain a statement that the individual is eligible for and willing to fill the vacancy. In addition, the notification of interest should contain additional information regarding the individual’s qualifications for and interest in the office.
