Sterling School Board Candidates to Be Interviewed on June 1st Noon deadline

I hope you read it in the newspaper or saw it somewhere. I am hopeful that the School Board does right by Sterling.

The School board is voting to replace the late Warren Geurin.

It will interview candidates who come foward and indicate an interest.

The eight remaining members will then vote to fill the vacancy.

This is the School Board news release
