There’s a seat to fill on the Portola Valley School District Board, and volunteers are invited to apply for a four-year term. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Oct. 8, and the seat is available to registered voters who are residents of the district.

Applicants will be interviewed on Oct. 14, and a majority vote of the school board at the Oct. 21 meeting will select the newest board member.

The terms of three of the five board members end this year, and only two incumbents filed for re-election. The third, board president Donald Collat, is stepping down after one term, leaving an open seat.

Anyone interested in serving must submit a letter of interest describing experience with youth, education and community activities, along with the application. Applications are available at the district office located at the Corte Madera School campus, 4575 Alpine Road, Portola Valley. For information, call Superintendent Anne Campbell at 851-1777, extension 3010.
