Six candidates will vie for two STLCC Board of Trustee seats: Subdistrict 1 and Subdistrict 3, according to an STLCC press release.
Candidates for Subdistrict 1 will serve a six-year term. They include Theodis Brown Sr., chief of the Castlepoint Fire Protection Association; Daryl L. Cothran, assistant director of the St. Louis County Department of Human Services’ Workforce Development division; and Doris A. Graham, Ph.D., retired assistant principal at Ames Visual and Performing Arts Public School in St. Louis.
Subdistrict 1 includes the Hazelwood, Ferguson/Florissant, Riverview Gardens, Jennings, Pattonville, Ritenour, University City, Normandy, Clayton and Ladue school districts.
Bob Burns was appointed by the board to fill the Subdistrict 3 seat vacated by the resignation of JoAnn Ordinachev in December 2011. Burns is running for the position along with Joan H. McGivney, former Southwestern Bell Corp. employee who owns a company that manufactures and distributes a children’s geography game; and Philip E. Smith, a retired professor and department chair of foreign languages at St. Louis Community College’s Forest Park and Meramec campuses. The winner will serve for the one-year balance of Ordinachev’s term, which expires in 2013.
An election to fill the seat for a full six-year term will take place in April 2013.
Subdistrict 3 includes southern and southwest portions of St. Louis City and the Maplewood-Richmond Heights, Affton, Bayless, Brentwood, Kirkwood and Webster Groves school districts.
