The Washington State School Directors’ Association hosts a series of 14 workshops throughout Washington in March and April to encourage citizens to serve on their local school boards.

One of the workshops is in Sequim, scheduled for 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at the Sequim School District boardroom, 503 N. Sequim Ave.

The “Become a School Board Member” workshops are free and last two hours. They provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of a school director and how to file to become a candidate.

Workshops are scheduled for March and April, well before the May 12 filing week.

Three Sequim School Board director positions are open in November 2015: director District 1 (filled now by Heather Jeffers), director District 3 (filled by John Bridge) and one at-large director position (filled by Walter Johnson).
