Will Platte Canyon School District fill the vacancy?

The Platte Canyon School District has a clear vacancy on its Board of Education. Joe Burgett retired from his position with the fire department and moved to Florida during the month of July. Per Colorado State statute 22-31-129 (1) (d) If the person who was duly elected or appointed is or becomes during the term of office a nonresident of the school district in which the person was elected or..... and from the PCSD bylaws Article 7 (a) Vacancies may occur on the Board because of a Member’s resignation, moving outside of the District,.....


State statute goes on to say this about filling a vacancy:

(2) At the next board of education meeting immediately following the occurrence of any condition specified in subsection (1) of this section, the board of education of the district shall adopt a resolution declaring a vacancy in the school director office, and the board of education of the school district in which the vacancy occurs shall appoint a person to fill the vacancy within sixty days after the vacancy has occurred. If the appointment is not made by the board within the sixty-day period, the president of the board shall forthwith appoint a person to fill the vacancy. The appointment shall be evidenced by an appropriate entry in the minutes of the meeting and the board shall cause a certificate of appointment to be delivered to the person so appointed. A duplicate of each certificate of appointment shall be forwarded to the department of education.


Will the Board fill the vacancy? Why is Mr. Burgett still listed as a board member? Where is this on the agenda? Monday August 9 6 pm is the next meeting of the Board.
