Two Trustee positions on the Whitefish School Board are up for election this spring.

Current Trustees Ruth Harrison and Marguerite Kaminksi are up for re-election, and neither have completed paperwork to run again, district business director Danelle Reisch said.

Harrison was first elected to the board in 2006. Harrison has a degree in English and has worked as a teacher and a rancher for most of her life. She served eight years on the Pleasant Valley School Board as a trustee and clerk for the school as well.

Kaminski joined the board in 2015 after an unsuccessful bid for trustee the year before. Kaminski went through the U.S. Air Force officer training program in 1973, and became a contracting officer, price analyst and contract negotiator, and later went on to study law. She has worked as a snowboard instructor, swim instructor, lifeguard, referee, served as a soccer and basketball coach, classroom volunteer, reading mentor, and substitute teacher.

The deadline for applying for one of the three-year positions on the board is March 29.

Applications are available at the District Office at Whitefish Middle School. For more information, call Reisch at 862-8643.
