Three-term board member Elise Emanuel (City of Williamsburg) confirmed to WYDaily she would not seek appointment to a fourth term.
Her current term expires Dec. 31.
Applications for her seat will be accepted now through the Nov. 12 city council meeting, when a public hearing will be held for residents to share their opinion on the applicants.
City Council will announce and appoint the new representative during the Dec. 10 council meeting. The representative’s term will begin Jan. 1, 2016.
School board members representing the city are appointed to four-year terms. Two of the seven board members are appointed by the city while the rest are elected to their positions by James City County residents.
