Spirit Lake, IA (KICD) — There’s a vacancy on the Spirit Lake school board. Scott Trautman’s resignation takes effect in two weeks. In a written statement Trautmen says it’s time to make room for a new member with renewed energy and ideas. He compliments his fellow board members and administration and says he could not be more excited about his children continuing their education in Spirit Lake.

School board president Teresa Beck thanks Trautman for his ten years of service and says she will miss his leadership.

Beck indicates the open spot will be filled by appointment until the next regular election in November.
