Residents of Prairie State College District 515 are invited to apply to fill a vacancy on the board following the resignation of Christopher Baikauskas.
The person chosen for the position will serve out the rest of Baikauskas’ term until the next school board election on April 4, 2023. Candidates will be eligible to run for a six-year term in the April election.
Baikauskas was first elected to the board in 2017. He stepped down so he could focus his attention on his new position as interim principal at Chicago Heights Middle School.
“We appreciate the tremendous work that Chris Baikauskas has contributed to the PSC board and his exceptional years of service,” said Dr. Ronald J. White, chairman of the board.
Applications to fill the vacancy are due by 4:30 p.m. Monday, Aug, 15. Candidates must live
in the district, be a registered voter and a resident of the district for a minimum of one year prior to the appointment. Candidates are asked to submit a letter of interest and a prospective member profile by email to Pat Trost, chief of staff, at [email protected].
An application screening process will select candidates to be interviewed at a special District 515 board meeting on Aug. 23. The new board member will be sworn in at the board’s regular meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 30.
