The local English public school board's looking to fill a local seat after the death of a longtime trustee.
Following the sudden passing of longtime North Algoma trustee Russell Reid in June, the Algoma District School Board's trustees opted to accept applications for prospective candidates they could appoint a replacement to fill the vacancy, for the trustee representing the Michipicoten - or Wawa - Chapleau and Hornepayne areas - they're set to receive a candidate presentation in their meeting tonight, with a single guest shown for the item, though the board is not saying whether plans are to confirm them tonight, only that a release is expected after the meeting.
Whoever ends up appointed would serve out the remainder of the term, which ends in November 2026.
