The deadline for those interested in putting their hat in the ring for a trustee position with the South East Cornerstone Public School Division is fast approaching. Nominations for the two vacancies must be received at the board office by January 31st.

Returning officer Shelley Toth explained in the past, the nominations generally come in just before the actual deadline. If there is more than one candidate for each of the two seats, then elections will be held on March 7th.

There is a vacancy in Estevan, and another in Weyburn. The vacancies were created when two members of the board stepped down from their positions late last year.
