The Manassas School Board is seeking to fill a vacant seat after the resignation of Board member Ilka Chavez at their January meeting.
The School Board posted the vacancy on their website and has nine confirmed applicants for the position, according to Erin Gibson, the Public Communications Assistant for Manassas City Public Schools.
All nine candidates will present their qualifications to the School Board, at a public hearing before a decision will be made, Gibson said. The hearing will take place on February 17, at 7p.m. at 8700 Centreville Road in Manassas.
This appointee will serve on the Board until November, when a special election will take place to elect a School Board member to serve out a regular term.
