The Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly has a rich assortment of topics on its Monday evening meeting agenda — though not all of them are scheduled for discussion by default.
SB to weigh 11 applicants for interim board position
Ten more members of the community applied for an open spot on the Ketchikan School Board by the time the application period closed on Tuesday evening â a show of interest unprecedented in recent years.
On Thursday, the Ketchikan School Board will hold a special meeting to interview the candidates and decide whom to select for the position.
The board last week postponed an interview it had scheduled for the applicants for the spot and reopened the application period, after only one person, former Board President Trevor Shaw, applied by the deadline.
At that May 26 board meeting, two members of the public urged the board not to appoint Shaw to fill the position.

The Ketchikan School Board on Wednesday is set to interview former Board President Trevor Shaw to potentially fill the vacant seat on the board. Shaw was the only person to apply for the spot, left vacant by the resignation of Vice President Sonya Skan earlier this month.
The application period closed at 4:30 p.m. last Monday.
Board policy states that the board must fill vacant seats within 30 days, and must interview all applicants for the position. The board accepted Skanâs resignation on May 4.
Shaw was elected to the School Board in 2013 and served as the board president until 2018.
In 2015, while serving on the board and as the chairman of the House District 36 Republicans, Shaw unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly.
