PENDLETON â Come this summer, nearly half of the Pendleton School District Board will consist of new faces.
At a Jan. 6 school board meeting, Chair Debbie McBee announced that she and board members Gary George and Steve Umbarger intended to retire from the board at the end of their terms expiring in June.
The retirements will open three seats on the seven-person school board, and McBee encouraged her colleagues to solicit interest among district residents in running for the seats.
The school board is losing its most experienced members: McBee was first elected in 2009 while Umbarger was appointed in 2010 before he was elected to fill the rest of the term in 2011.

The series culminated in the $1,700 buy-in Main Event which featured $200K in guarantees, but ended up awarding a whopping $1,207,450 in total prize pool after attracting 779 entries.
