a trustee to fill her spot for the remainder of her term.  The board asked for letters of intent to be sent and we received one 
letter from Spencer Larsen. He addressed the board and introduced himself.  He also explained why he wanted to be a board 
member. He mentioned that his grandfather and father were both board members and he wishes to continue that tradition.  
He and his family love the Snake River School District. The board asked questions and thanked him for showing interest in 
filling the position. Spencer Larsen will be sworn in at the next regular meeting, which is tomorrow, June 16th.
