Board of directors to interview candidates

Feb. 16, 2023

The BGPS board of directors is in the process of filling the district 2 position on the board that will soon be vacated by Director Rob Henrikson. During a Feb. 13 executive session, the board reviewed applications submitted for the open position and selected four applicants to participate in interviews.

The candidates will be interviewed during a public meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 5 p.m. The meeting will take place at the Lewisville campus, 406 NW Fifth Ave., Battle Ground, WA. It also will be streamed online.

The selected candidate will be sworn in at the March 13 regular board meeting.

This is a temporary appointment. The director will be up for election in the August primary (if applicable) and November 2023 general election.

Henrikson announced his resignation at the Jan. 23 school board meeting. His resignation is effective Feb. 28.

The appointment process follows the district’s policy 1114, “Board member resignation and vacancy.” Should a board member rescind their letter of resignation before the designated resignation date, the search for a new director will be terminated.

District 2 covers central and eastern portions of the district.
