CHERRY TWP — On Monday, the Moniteau School Board made plans to interview three candidates at a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday for an interim board member seat.

Stacy Armagost, Ann Marie Hepler and Linda Dillaman submitted letters of interest for the school board vacancy.

The selected individual will complete the term of George Pry, who resigned Aug. 12.

Pry served on the board for nearly four years. His term ends the first week of December.

“There were some difficult times, but for the most part I loved it,” said Pry of his time on the board.

A new position with his employer prevents him from having an elected office.

If the school board does not fill the vacancy within 30 days of the resignation, the Butler Court of Common Pleas, upon the petition of 10 or more resident taxpayers, would fill it.
