Manhattan D114 Board Seats New Member, Seeks To Fill 2 Vacancies

MANHATTAN, IL — The Manhattan District 114 Board of Education at a special meeting on April 28 bid farewell to outgoing members, and welcomed its newly elected leadership.

The board thanked outgoing members Scott Mancke, Terry Doyle and Donald Knoll for their commitment to the students, staff, and families of the district.

In addition to returning members, the board officially welcomed Erica Aultz as its newest member. A district parent and frequent attendee at board meetings, Aultz won her seat in the April 1 consolidated election, and "brings a well-informed and thoughtful perspective," the District said in a release.

Aultz expressed her enthusiasm to collaborate with fellow board members and contribute to the district’s continued success.

The board is currently seeking candidates to fill two remaining two-year term vacant seats. No one pursued the seats in the consolidated election.

Interested individuals are encouraged to submit letters of interest to Superintendent Pacheco by May 9, for consideration. Letters should be sent to Manhattan District 114 Superintendent Dr. Ron Pacheco, at rpacheco@manhattan114.org.
