Garland ISD Trustees announce plans to fill vacant Place 4 seat

gisd logoThe Garland ISD Board of Trustees announced a plan to fill its Place 4 seat, which will become unoccupied after Dr. Cindy Castañeda’s resignation takes effect on August 18. The Board of Trustees plans to fill this vacancy by appointment. To select this appointment, the Board will be accepting applications from qualified individuals interested in filling the position and serving the District. Applications must be received by August 28, 2015. Each applicant must be a registered voter in Garland ISD and should apply by submitting a resume and cover letter. The resume and cover letter should be mailed or hand delivered to:

Garland Independent School District
Attention: Larry Glick, Board President
501 S. Jupiter Road
Garland, Texas 75042

After the application deadline, the Board may conduct interviews and will appoint a new member to sit on the Board until the next election in May 2016. At that time, the appointee can seek election for the remainder of the Place 4 term.

All Garland ISD Trustees serve the District at large.
