ESCANABA -- The Delta-Schoolcraft Intermediate School District (DSISD) Board of Education is seeking qualified candidates for the DSISD School Board. Due to board member relocation a vacancy for a seat will be open September 1. The remainder of the term expires on June 30, 2025 in line with the next election cycle.
The current board is made up of representatives from Escanaba (2), Gladstone, Manistique, Mid Peninsula and Rapid River School districts. Intermediate School Districts are allowed to have up to two people from a district on the board at one time. Candidates from Bark River, Big Bay de Noc, Gladstone, Manistique, Mid Peninsula and Rapid River may apply. Residents of Escanaba Area School District cannot apply at this time, as there are two representatives from Escanaba already in service.
The Delta-Schoolcraft ISD Board of Education members serve on various committees including finance, personnel and curriculum, negotiations and policy, legislative relations, and building and grounds committees. Board members also represent the Delta-Schoolcraft ISD at the State and local level through the Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) and the Delta-Schoolcraft Association of School Boards. Delta-Schoolcraft ISD Board meetings are held in the evenings, on the second Thursday of each month.
Area residents interested in becoming candidates can apply online at www.dsisd.net or by dropping off a letter of interest to the Delta-Schoolcraft ISD. Include why you would like to serve on the DSISD School Board and a brief resume of service and experience that would benefit your work as a Board member.
