Eagle County School District Board of Education seeks new member

There is a seat open on the Eagle County School District Board of Education to represent portions of EagleVail and Avon.

At its Wednesday, Feb. 14 meeting, the school board officially declared a vacancy for the District F seat. The seat was held by former school board president Michelle Stecher, who resigned after a move across Eagle County made her unable to serve in the district. Stecher’s last board meeting was Wednesday, Jan. 24.

With the vacancy occurring between elections, the current board will appoint the next member. The appointee will serve until the next regular school biennial election in November 2025.
