On Thursday, June 6, 2024, the Central 301 School District issued a communication notifying the community of the resignation of Board Member, Fred Vogt.  Mr. Vogt's term was set to run through 2027.

In accordance with Board Policy 2:70, the Board is seeking volunteers from the community to apply for Mr. Vogt's position.  The Board of Education will select candidates from the applicants, interview them, and select someone to serve as Mr. Vogt's replacement until the April 2025 elections.

Board Policy 2:70 states:  "Whenever a vacancy occurs, the remaining members shall notify the Regional Superintendent of Schools of that vacancy within five days after its occurrence and shall fill the vacancy until the next regular board election, at which election a successor shall be elected to serve the remainder of the unexpired term.
