The Humboldt County Board of Education voted Aug. 12 to appoint President Dena McCullough to serve as an interim board member for Maple Creek Union School District, according to the board’s approved minutes and the meeting agenda.
The Aug. 12 agenda listed the appointment as an action item and cited Education Code 5094 as the statutory authority for the move. The approved minutes say McCullough was appointed to the Maple Creek interim seat, but they do not explain why the district needed an interim member or how long the appointment will last.
The minutes also do not summarize any public discussion about whether McCullough would continue serving on the county board while holding the Maple Creek interim role.
