The vacancy arose after the board reluctantly accepted the resignation of longtime Board member Jim Comstock.
Comstock leaves the board after 18 years to take a seat on the Lake County Board of Supervisors for District 1.
The vacancy will be filled through a provisional appointment by the board.
Interested individuals may request an application and application questionnaire from Lynn Walker at the Middletown Unified School District office at 20932 Big Canyon Road, Middletown, or phone 987-4100.
The application and application questionnaire also will be available on the district's Web site, http://www.middletownusd.org, later this week. Applications for the open seat will be accepted through Friday, Jan. 9, 2009 at 4 p.m.
Applicants will present an oral statement to the board at the Jan. 14 meeting. After all applicants have presented statements, the board will take action to select the provisional appointee. This process is consistent with Board Bylaw 9223 adopted Sept. 26, 2007.
