Mike Kaiser Appointed to School Board

On Feb. 10, the Glasgow School Board met in special session to appoint a replacement for the position vacated by Nick Dirkes in December. The board, by law, is required to fill the position within 60 days. Two letters of interest were submitted, from Mike Kaiser and James Rickley. Neither candidate was present at the 8:30 meeting, where the board unanimously appointed Mike Kaiser. Kaiser was seated onto the board Feb. 15.

Kaiser will serve on the board until May, the next election. Kaiser said that he is not sure if he will run for the office. If elected, he would serve a two year term.

Mike Kaiser is a land surveyor in Glasgow, Mont., with children in the school system. James Rickley, the other candidate of interest, is a former Superintendent in Poplar, Mont., who is now involved in multiple musical endeavors throughout the area.
