Brent Windsor was chosen Wednesday evening to fill a vacant seat on the Emporia board of education.
After interviewing eight candidates over the space of two evenings, current school board members used two balloted votes and one voice vote to select Windsor by a majority of 4-1. A minimum of four votes was required to choose the replacement for Homer Garza, according to Community Relations Director Nancy Horst.
Garza resigned in July because of time constraints caused by a new job and the commuting it required from Emporia to Osage City.
The board on Wednesday evening interviewed three candidates who had submitted applications for the position: Ann Coulson, Danny Giefer, and Mickey Edwards.
Candidates Carol Krueger, Brent Windsor, Angela Miller, Amy Scheller and Jerry Fair completed their interviews with the board Monday evening.
