Thank you for considering this important endeavor for the Edgemont community.

SBNC Process. The process is designed to:
• Encourage qualified residents to make themselves available to serve
• Establish a fair and judicious means for evaluating and recommending candidates for the School Board
• Make campaigning less necessary or less likely by ensuring a fair and open process for their nomination
• Organized on a nonpartisan basis, under the sponsorship of the ECC, the SBNC interviews each resident who has expressed an interest in being a candidate for the Board. After the interview process, the Committee recommends candidates to fill the number of positions available.
