BISMARCK, ND ( KXNET ) — State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler has announced that applications have been reopened to fill a vacancy on the state Board of Public School Education.

The board is responsible for overseeing K-12 and career and technical education in the state.

The application period was first opened in August, but it failed to attract eligible candidates.

The applicant selected will succeed former board member Burdell Johnson, who resigned in August. His successor will serve the remainder of his term, which ends June 30, 2026.

The deadline to apply is at 5 p.m. on Friday, October 11th. To learn more about the board and its role, go to the governor’s website . You can find the application here .
