Fifteen applicants have put their names forward to fill the vacant seat on the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.

School board member Mia Burroughs is making the move to the Orange County Board of Commissioners after easily winning the race to represent District 1. The school board will appoint a replacement on December 4 to serve until the 2015 election.

Among the fifteen applicants, two have sought public office in the past.

Ignacio Tzoumas ran for a seat on the school board last year, finishing fourth with 14 percent of the votes cast.

Theresa Watson ran for a seat on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen in the special election held last May. She came in second with 27 percent of the vote.

All applicants will answer board questions at an interview session Monday night scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Lincoln Center on South Merritt Mill Road. The session is open to the public.
