 The Bemidji School District added a new member to its board tonight. Sean Whiting has been appointed to fill the vacated school board position left empty by former board member Bill Faber. The final decision came down between Whiting and Todd Hogan. It was a close race with Whiting winning in a three to two vote. Whiting will attend his first meeting as a school board member on February 26th. He will hold the position through January of 2019.
