Barbara Von Moses Appointed to Mayer Unified School District Governing Board by Yavapai County School Superintendent
Yavapai County School Superintendent Tim Carter is pleased to announce the appointment of Barbara Von Moses to the Mayer Unified School District Governing Board. This vacancy is due to the resignation of Board Member Tracy Howard, from earlier this year for personal reasons. Since this resignation occurred during the 2024 election cycle, the position was held vacant, pending the election process. This allows the election process to effectively fill the vacancy which yielded a non-incumbent qualified candidate, making her eligible for the Board of Supervisors to cancel the election and appoint her to the full term, as if she had been elected and saving taxpayers the cost of the election. That appointment will be completed at a public Governing Board meeting on Wednesday, August 14th.
