MASON CITY – Mason City School Board member Mark Young resigned at Monday’s school board meeting.
Young is a local attorney and has aspirations for a career in education. “Mr. Young submitted his letter of resignation to the Board as he has completed a Masters Program in School Administration,” School Superintendent Anita Micich said. “His desire is to begin this new journey in his career path.”
School board members receive no pay for their service.
According to the school district, the “Board will appoint someone to fill Mark Young’s position depending on when they actually accept his resignation and if he still has time left on his term. The appointed Board Member would fill out the rest of his term if there is time left on it and then the appointed Board Member would be up for re-election on September 10th.”
The Board Members that are up for election on September 10th are Tim Becker, Bob Thoms, and Michele Applegate.
Also according to the school district, the School Board has not yet set the date for the vote on the Instructional Support Levy (ISL) but they will most likely do that at the May 20th Board Meeting. There was no word on whether the ISL vote would take place on September 10th with the school board vote or if voters would be required to return to the polls a second time to vote on the ISL.
