WHITTIER : Filings Due Jan. 13 for Open School Board Seat
Candidates have until Jan. 13 to file for a vacant seat on the Whittier City School District board.
The school district was forced to schedule a special election April 11 after a citizens group filed petitions demanding that voters choose a new board member. School board members had appointed Nelda Fodor, a Whittier College library worker, to the board on Oct. 27 to replace outgoing Rosaura Aguerrebere until the next scheduled election in November.
Instead, the winner in April’s election will serve until November, 1997, when Aguerrebere’s term would have expired.
Fodor and teacher Ted Saulino have already announced they intend to run for the seat. Saulino, an unsuccessful school board candidate in 1993, led the drive to gather petitions calling for the special election.
The special election could cost as much as $121,000, according to officials in the county registrar’s office.
