Krichbaum appointed school trustee
February 6, 2013
At its regular meeting Tuesday, the Boundary County School District 101 Board of Trustees formally appointed Beverly Krichbaum, Moyie Springs, to fill the vacancy in Zone 2 created by the resignation of 11-year member Tim Bertling.

"She has kids who are in the school and she did really well in the interview," said trustee David Brinkman. "I think shell fit in very well."

Krichbaum's appointment runs until the end of the vacated term July 1, and she will be one of three seeking validation by voters at an election to be held May 21. Also up for election are Zone 1 trustee Gil Hagen and Zone 5 trustee Lisa Dirks, both of whom plan to seek reelection.

Those interested in running can pick up candidate's packets at the school district office, 6577 Main Street, Bonners Ferry, through March 22. Prospective candidates must live within the zone district they're seeking to represent and obtain five valid signatures from qualified electors within the zone to qualify.

If you are uncertain about zone district Boundaries, a map is available at the county clerk's office, 6452 Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry.
