The Board of Trustees of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District is seeking written notification of interest from individuals who are eligible for and willing to fill one vacant seat on the board. 

The seat will have a term ending November 2025.

“A position on the board requires a great deal of time,” the school system said.

There are at least two monthly meetings, committee meetings, training sessions and attendance at some student activities. More information on the duties of a board member can be found on the North Carolina School Board Association webpage at this link

In order to be eligible to fill a seat an individual must be a registered voter and must reside in the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District. 

Individuals may check with the Halifax County Board of Elections to determine their status as a registered voter. 

Individuals may check with the superintendent of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District to determine the boundaries of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District. 

The boundaries of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District are not the same as the Roanoke Rapids city limits.

Interested individuals should file a written and signed notification of interest, using a form which may be downloaded directly at this link, from the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District’s website at this link or picked up from the central services office at 536 Hamilton Street.

The completed form should be submitted to Valencia Davis, vice chair of the board of trustees, at central services no later than 4 p.m. on July 7. 

The notification of interest must contain a statement that the individual is eligible for and willing to fill the vacancy. In addition, the notification of interest should contain additional information regarding qualifications for and interest in the office.
