Seven people applied for a vacant seat on the Manassas School Board relinquished last month by former Chairman Sanford Williams.
Williams said he wanted to spend more time with his family in California, leaving the government school division with the task of appointing someone to serve the remaining 14 months of William's term.
Only three of those who submitted their resume and showed their willingness to serve their community were called in for interviews -- Jill Spall, Sandra Day, and Marlysha Liddel. The interviews will occur in front of the public during special 7 p.m. School Board meeting on Thursday, October 21 at city hall.
