Several of these are Scottsville Magisterial District specific, and I am very interested in any residents down here in Southern Albemarle who would be interested in serving – shoot me a personal email if you have any questions!
I don’t get it:
“Application deadline is November 29, 2011.”
So the deadline has passed?
Uh. Yes, that would mean that the county promoted after the deadline the importance of applying for those positions. That’s weird. The reality, I expect, is that they didn’t get any applications for some or even most of those board seats, and the deadline may be irrelevant.
The deadline is a little loose … the positions are essentially open until an appointment is made, and they’re sometimes advertised months ahead of when there will be a vacancy. Some of these will be made at the Dec 7th or 14th Board meetings, but many won’t be made until January.
