Maeshiro Staff Writer NORTH EDWARDS - Muroc Joint Unified School District A unified school district is a school district which includes both primary school (kindergarten through middle school or junior high) and high school (grades 9-12). In Illinois, these districts are called unit school districts. trustees must decide whether to hold a special election or appoint someone to fill the seat vacated by board member Julie English. English, who was elected in 2000 and was halfway through her first term, resigned without stating a reason. ``It came as a surprise to all of us,'' Superintendent Bertha ber·tha n.

English declined Friday to comment on her resignation, which she submitted last month. Muroc trustees are accustomed to dealing with board vacancies. The board has a high turnover rate because trustees are usually spouses of Edwards Air Force Base Edwards Air Force Base, U.S. military installation, 301,000 acres (121,805 hectares), S Calif., NE of Lancaster; est. 1933.

The school board has to have two seats that must be filled by Edwards Air Force Base residents, two by residents from Boron boron (bōr`ŏn) [New Gr. from borax], chemical element; symbol B; at. no. 5; at. wt. 10.81; m.p. about 2,300°C;; sublimation point about 2,550°C;; sp. gr. 2.3 at 25°C;; valence +3. , and one from North Edwards. English held one of the two Boron seats. The board at Wednesday's meeting will discuss how to fill English's seat. ``The board will be deciding how to fill the position, whether by appointment or by election. My guess is by appointment,'' Boullion said. If the board decides to appoint someone, the district will advertise the position and interview applicants at the board meeting in December, Boullion said. The person appointed will serve out English's term, which expires in 2004. Board President Chuck James Charles Hamilton "Chuck" James (born November 9, 1981 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a starting pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. Minor League career Chuck was signed by the Braves on July 29, 2002 in the 20th Round of the 2002 Free Agent Draft. said the board will probably not choose a special election because of the cost. ``It costs money to run an election, so the likelihood is it will be an appointment,'' James said. |
