Posted on 08/27/2024

Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) is currently accepting applications from those interested in becoming a member of the GISD Board of Education. A seat has become available with the recent announcement of Larry P. Ford’s retirement. 

GISD provides educational programs and services supporting the 21 local school districts and 14 public school academies in Genesee County. It also operates special education, career and technical education, early childhood, and early middle college programming. As a regional service agency, the GISD serves as a liaison between the local school districts, public school academies, and the Michigan Department of Education.

The GISD Board of Education will select a candidate to fill the vacated seat in a process that is thorough and open to the public consistent with Revised School Code Section 380.614 and GISD Board of Education Policy 0142.5.

An eligible candidate must be a registered voter who lives within GISD’s 21-school district service area. To be considered for appointment, applicants must submit a one-page letter of application and a one-page resume to the GISD Superintendent’s Office, and be received no later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

Applications should be addressed to: Mr. Richard Hill, President, GISD Board of Education, 2413 West Maple Avenue, Flint, MI, 48507-3493.

All interviews and meetings related to filling the Board vacancy will be open to the public. Candidates will be interviewed at a special Board of Education meeting on Monday, September 16, 2024 in the Legacy Auditorium at the GISD Erwin L. Davis Education Center, 2413 West Maple Avenue, Flint, Michigan. The GISD Board of Education members will select a new board member immediately after all interviews are completed.

Names of the candidates and a complete schedule of interviews and meetings will be posted once applications have been submitted. Pursuant to the Revised School Code, the newly selected board member will serve the remainder of the vacated term, which ends June 30, 2025. Questions or requests for more information may be submitted to Dr. Steven Tunnicliff, Superintendent of GISD, [email protected].
