After serving more than 11 years on the Mukilteo School District Board of Directors, Michael Simmons announced his resignation during the board’s Feb. 13 meeting. “The time commitment of a board member is without question a key piece of serving, and I have always been all-in,” Simmonds said in his resignation letter. “… However, as I wind toward the next phase of my professional working career, and with serious consideration of other personal matters, I am unable to continue at the pace that I feel is warranted to be an effective school board member.”

Simmons plans to continue as a director until the board finds a replacement, but not later than Monday, March 27. His term ends Nov. 23, 2023, so his replacement would also be up for re-election this coming November.

Interested candidates for the school board position which represents District #1 should submit their resume and letter of interest to [email protected] by 3 p.m. on Feb. 28.

To become a board member, the candidate must be a United States citizen and a qualified voter resident in the school district and appropriate director district, as described in Board Procedure 1113-P. More information: https://www.mukilteoschools.org/Page/16440
