The Philomath School District continues to seek applicants to fill vacancies on its Budget Committee after the terms of three community members expired this past June. The deadline to apply is noon on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
The Budget Committee is made up of five community members alongside the five School Board members. According to the district, applicants for the three-year terms must live in the district, be a qualified voter of the district and not be an officer or employee of the district.
Candidate applications are available online or from the district office, located at 1620 Applegate St.
The School Board is expected to review applications and appoint new members Oct. 15.
Committee members’ responsibilities include attending a budget information session and one or two work sessions in the spring, along with one or two formal budget committee meetings — typically no longer than two hours each — held between early May and late June.
