Four contenders for school board vacancy

COEUR d’ALENE — Four people have applied to fill Dave Eubanks’s former seat on the Coeur d’Alene School Board, said district spokesman Scott Maben on Monday.

The person whom the school board selects will serve as Trustee Zone 4’s board member through December 2021. Eubanks resigned earlier this summer because he moved out of the trustee zone.

- Attorney Jennifer Brumley of Amendola, Doty & Brumley. Brumley is a Coeur d’Alene High School graduate and specializes in family law.

- Retired attorney and former Sorensen Magnet School special education paraprofessional Kate Dolan. She served as a school board attorney in Ohio before moving to Idaho.

- Former Lakes Middle School special education assistant Traci Hanks. She now works as admissions director and academic coordinator for Northwest College Support.

- Coeur d’Alene firefighter/engineer paramedic Nathan Hyder, who moved to the district in 2005 from Sandpoint.

With the exception of Hanks, each applicant has children attending school in the district, Maben said.

“All four candidates meet the qualifications of residing in Zone 4 and being registered voters,” Maben said.

The school board will interview each applicant at a special meeting Aug. 7 at 5 p.m. The meeting will be open to the public. If the board selects one of the applicants at the end of that meeting, the new trustee would begin service at the board’s Sept. 10 meeting, Maben said.
