Landaker will resign next month from the Antelope Valley Union High School District The Antelope Valley Union High School District (A.V.U.H.S.D.) is located in the Antelope Valley area of California, in northern Los Angeles County. The district includes eight public high schools, one trade school, and two continuation high schools in the cities of Palmdale board. Landaker submitted a letter saying he will resign effective Jan. 6, after which the school board has 60 days to either appoint a replacement or order an election. ``He felt it was time to move on,'' said board member Bill Olenick. ``I'm sure going to miss him. He's an outstanding board member. Steve brings a level of personal integrity that everyone in public office can learn from.'' Landaker, a billboard company executive, first served on the board from 1989 to 1993 and was appointed in March 1996 to fill the seat left vacant by the death of board President Tony Welch Welch , William Henry 1850-1934.

Landaker had been considering the move long before his daughter's death, Girolamo said. The board at today's meeting will consider a district administrators' recommendation to appoint a replacement rather than hold a special election, which would cost between $100,000 and $250,000. If the board decides to appoint someone, that person will have to run in the next board election in November 1999, Olenick said. The suggested time line in a district staff report sets a deadline of Jan. 1 for interested applicants to submit a letter of interest and resume. Interviews would be conducted at the board's meeting Jan. 6, and an appointment made Jan. 7. Olenick said he favored making an appointment over holding an election to save money. Board President Kevin Carney car·ney n. Informal Variant of carny. said Landaker submitted his letter of resignation to the district last week. He described Landaker as a trustee who cares tremendously about students, is a community leader, and will be greatly missed. ``He's brought great balance to the board. We will seek someone who will bring that balance,'' Carney said. ``If we don't have an election, we will find someone who will bring balance to the board and keep us moving ahead.'' Landaker was appointed in 1996 following a four-hour board session during which 11 candidates were interviewed and the trustees failed four times to agree on a replacement. |
