 Bemidji School District has announced the resignation of one of its board members, Richard Faver, effective immediately. Faver was first elected to the board in the early 2000s. He submitted his former letter of resignation late last month. Faver was absent from tonight's meeting, although his colleagues say he brought a unique perspective to the board and will be missed. The board says they will begin looking for his replacement immediately. We would be asking people to submit kind of an application, which would involve a letter of interest and a resume that would describe what their history is in terms of community service, why they're interested in being on the board, and what skills and abilities and strengths they would bring to the board. More details will be given out about the open school board position at the next meeting on December 18th. The person who is picked will not have to go through an election process and would instead take over Faver's term for the next year.
