Now that Mia Burroughs is making the move from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools board to Orange County Board of Commissioners, fellow school board members will be looking to fill her vacant seat.

Burroughs won Tuesday’s District 1 race for a seat representing Chapel Hill and Carrboro. She’ll take her new oath of office in December.

At Thursday’s school board meeting, Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board members will discuss and approve the process for naming a replacement. The vacant seat will be filled by board appointment on December 4. The new member will serve until the next election in 2015.

The board will also receive the 2014 Opening of School Report, an extensive overview of what the school district looks like this year. Board members and administrators will discuss staffing, new hires, teacher turnover and school capacity.

The school board meets at 7 o’clock at Chapel Hill Town Hall. You can read the full agenda here.
