Krista Durrwachter, the chair of the Sartell-St. Stephen School Board, tendered her resignation from the board on June 28.
She stated in her resignation that she is about to launch a new career option that could become a conflict of interest with her school board position. Durrwachter, elected to the board in November 2012, has served on the board since January 2013.
The school board is expected to hold a meeting July 1 to choose an interim person to fill her position, said Amy Trombley, the school district’s communications director. A new member will be elected in the Nov. 8 election and begin serving on the board in January. Durrwachter’s term would have ended at the close of this year.
There are two other board positions that will be up for election on Nov. 8 – the two now served by Jason Nies and Pam Raden.
Durrwachter is a staff attorney for the St. Cloud-based Stinson Leonard Street law firm, which specializes in trusts and estate planning. Durrwachter earned a doctorate in law from the Will Mitchell College of Law in 2003.
