Applications for Pasco School Board Position No. 5 are due in the superintendent's office by 5 p.m. today.

The office is in the C.L. Booth Building at 1215 W. Lewis St. in Pasco. Board position No. 5 became vacant with the resignation of board member Jeff Dong in February.

Current board members will review applications and nominate finalists for interviews during a special board meeting in public session on March 19. Board members will go into a closed-door session after the interviews to discuss the candidates, and then reconvene in public session to vote in a new member.

The new member will be sworn in and assume full duties at the March 26 regular board meeting.
